Proposal
“Opportunities to Partner with the Manitoba Trucking Industry on GHG Reduction”• Prepared in response to “Tomorrow Now,
Manitoba’s Green Plan”, a policy document of the Government of Manitoba.
• Co-authored and jointly submitted by the Manitoba Trucking Association and 50by30.
• Submitted April 2014 to Manitoba government
Manitoba Trucking Efficiency Initiative
Proposal - Goal
“double-green”• increase potential for profit in Manitoba trucking
industry by improving efficiency- reduce MegaJoules per tonne-kilometer
• reduce GHG emissions from road freight transportation- in Manitoba
- everywhere Manitoba trucks haul freight

2. New Generation Wide-Base Tires
goal: to permit NGWBT on select MB roads• all roads classified by MIT as RTAC routes
- http://www.gov.mb.ca/mit/mcd/mcpd/mhcs.html
• by “NGWBT” we mean 445 & 455, or wider

2. New Generation Wide-Base Tires
variable effect
fuel efficiency improved
resource consumption reduced
cost to truck owner reduced
waste production reduced
GHG emissions reduced
noise reduced
effect on RTAC roads mixed
• fatigue damage • perhaps somewhat negative
• subgrade rutting • perhaps somewhat negative
• top-down cracking • positive
• near-surface cracking • positive
• hot-mix asphalt rutting • positive

2. New Generation Wide-Base Tires
Effect on pavement, best current knowledge:• Al-Qadi & Wang (2009) “Evaluation of pavement damage
due to new tire designs”• https://apps.ict.illinois.edu/projects/getfile.asp?id=3007
- Wide-base tire causes greater fatigue damage and subgrade rutting than dual-tire assembly
» However, the relative damage ratios between various configurations at the same load decrease as the pavement thickness increases.
- Wide-base tire causes less top-down cracking, “near-surface” cracking, and HMA rutting damage than dual-tire assembly
- Using a wide-base 455 tire results in the least amount of pavement damage for an interstate road, slightly greater damage for a primary road, and more damage for a local road.
