摘要：	When the project began in 2016, the US Department of Energy (DOE) said: "These trucks haul 80% of goods in the United States and use about 28 billion gallons of fuel per year, accounting for around 22% of total transportation energy usage... a significant opportunity for carbon emissions reduction and energy savings." To put that into perspective, 28 billion US gallons is 106 billion litres, or around four times the total UK consumption of DERV. Following on from the SuperTruck I programme (see sidebar, opposite), SuperTruck Ⅱ gave around $20m of funding to each team, to be matched by the companies themselves. The aim was not simply to produce 'concept' vehicles, but to develop usable technologies which could be adopted in the short to medium term - so it specifically looked at diesel-powered trucks rather than electric or hydrogen power. The five teams are: 1. Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA), operating under the Freightliner and Detroit Powertrain brands 2. Paccar (DAF's parent company) operating under the Kenworth brand 3. Cummins together with Peterbilt (another Paccar brand, but operating independently from the Paccar entry) 4. Navistar (part of VW subsidiary Traton, which owns MAN and Scania) under the International brand 5. Volvo Trucks USA.
