Fleet DNA: Commercial Fleet Vehicle Operating Data

The Fleet DNA clearinghouse of commercial fleet vehicle operating

 data helps vehicle manufacturers and developers optimize vehicle

 designs and helps fleet managers choose advanced technologies for

 their fleets. This online tool provides data summaries and

 visualizations similar to real-world "genetics" for medium- and

 heavy-duty commercial fleet vehicles operating in a variety of

 vocations.

Data by Vehicle Category

Tools and Resources

Use these tools to analyze and sort transportation data:

FASTSim – Produce testable drive cycles from real-world

 vehicle data to cut testing and analysis time.

DRIVE – Simulate vehicle design and use scenarios with fuel

 economy, performance, battery life, and cost calculations.

AFLEET – Calculate a fleet's petroleum use, cost of ownership,

 and air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions.
