Governments and regulatory agencies in North America are evaluating the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions of heavy-duty on-road vehicles to effectively regulate these emissions in order to improve public health and meet air quality requirements. This paper provides results from real-world Class 8 tractor-trailer truck activity and emissions data gathering conducted in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States. Unlike some other areas of the United States (US), there is little available data on in-use operation and emissions performance from heavy-duty trucks in this region where temperatures can be consistently cold in winter.
