Trucking in the U.S. is an $800 billion industry. We all depend on trucks to maintain fast delivery times and distribute products safely all over the nation. Everything that comes on ships, planes and trains, still comes to us by truck. Trucks deliver virtually everything we want, but one thing we don t want – air pollution.
Emissions of pollutants from trucks are a problem, a big problem.
Does this mean that getting at this problem is going to require an impossible effort? According to forthcoming research from Texas A&M University, the answer is no.
