The heavy vehicle industry includes medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and buses. Vehicle size, driver location relative to the road, and duration of time in the vehicle distinguish heavy vehicles from the passenger car and light truck industry. During the past decade, the industry has been changing.

Aerodynamics of Heavy Vehicles
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2014We present an overview of the aerodynamics of heavy vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, high-speed trains, and buses. We introduce three-dimensional flow structures around simplified model vehicles and heavy vehicles and discuss the flow-control devices used for drag reduction.

In this paper three major points are made. First, we argue that the objective of recovering costs imposed on the public sector by heavy vehicles, is difficult to achieve, as instanced by the Australian experience with Road Maintenance Contributions (RMC). It should only be attempted as part of a general policy of cost recovery across all modes. Second,

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2008
Growing road network needs, rapidly increasing truck traffic, and the shortfall of traditional funding sources have contributed to two important trends in Europe: increased reliance on user fees and involvement of private capital in transport infrastructure through public–private partnerships. Since 1995 more than 20 European countries have instituted

eCall for Heavy Goods Vehicles
IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine, 2021eCall is the European in-vehicle emergency call system. The functionality required for an in-vehicle emergency call service for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) is largely similar to eCall for cars and vans. The specific requirements for HGVs include communicating information about the cargo carried by the vehicle to the public safety answering point (PSAP)

Feasibility of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Retrofit for Heavy Vehicles
2020Research on the feasibility of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) retrofits for heavy trucks in this report includes an estimate of the total number of buses and trucks in the U.S. fleet (class 3 to 8), an engineering analysis of three installation configurations to support retrofits of nearly all of the vehicles in the fleet, cost estimates for the V2V ...
