Control Measure:

Replace high polluting heavy-duty diesel vehicles older than 15 years.

Description:

This control measure analyzes emission impacts of replacing heavy-duty diesel 

vehicles older than 15 years in all the counties in New Jersey. 

Methodology:

Emission factors were calculated for each county for a Typical Summer Day as 

well as Annual. The emission rates were calculated using MOBILE6.2 and the 

setups for each county of the respective MPO.

Inputs/Assumptions:

 2009 HDV8b seasonal VMT was calculated for all three MPOs (NJTPA, 

SJTPO & DVRPC) based on their conformity setups.

 It was assumed that 22% of the HDV8b vehicles are MY ’85-’91.

 It was assumed that 30% of these vehicles are replaced in each county.

 Total days in Summer = 183 and Winter = 182.

 Assume each HDV8b type of truck replaced travels 500 miles/day

 Assume replacement cost per truck = $90,000 for the project.

COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS

Cost of replacing each truck was assumed to be approximately $90,000 per 

truck. This cost would be the capital cost. The O&M cost will not be considered 

for this study. 

Total costs were estimated as follows:

Capital Cost = $90,000/truck over 7 years 

Annual Operating/Maintenance Cost = N/A

Total Annualized Cost = $12,857/truck/year

Total cost for the various non-attainment areas are as follows:
