3 The researchers' review of clean truck strategies covered the following categories: • Engine and aftertreatment technologies – targeting criteria pollutants, • Engine and powertrain technologies – targeting fuel efficiency, • Alternative fuels, • Vehicle technologies – targeting fuel efficiency, • Operational strategies, and • Clean truck corridor infrastructure. The researchers completed a literature review that considered more than 50 documents covering more than 45 individual strategies.
