construction equipment
Sambo asked:


I’m talking about Semi-Trucks, construction equipment, and also big pickups that farmers and construction workers use. These vehicles run on diesel and get below 10mpg. But they are needed to do big jobs and big-rigs are what transports our goods from coast to coast. Can technology improve the mpgs or is there a viable alternative fuel?

heavy machinery

To get a top answer, I would prefer a number that represents passenger vehicles (not construction, heavy machinery, semi trucks etc), and vehicles that are actually working and on the road. I can go and look up the number of registered vehicles. I am looking for more of an ‘actual’. A reference would be great, too. Thanks all!
