Truck technologies that save fuel or use fuel more efficiently can pay for themselves through fuel savings. They also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollution. The SmartWay calculator is designed to help truck owners compare the costs and estimate the fuel savings associated with various efficiency technologies. The calculator is designed for owners of single trucks as well as multiple-truck fleets.

Instructions

The SmartWay calculator allows you to compare your costs with various technologies, by letting you enter different values for fuel use, fuel cost, and other critical factors. You can change the numbers and try different combinations of technologies as much as you like. Results are displayed automatically. Click the “Savings Without Loan” button to display the monthly savings from purchasing the technology package outright.

Note: You can't "save" your calculations here. To keep a record of any particular estimate, you will need to print this page or save a screen shot on your computer. If you have difficulty with this form or would prefer to use a spreadsheet, you may also download our spreadsheet version (MS-Excel, 31K).
