As part of his role at NACS, Jeff Lenard is responsible for overseeing consumer surveys that help explain what consumers want, and the critical elements that drive their decisions related to vehicle choice and driving patterns.

    Decarbonizing With Biofuels

    Reducing carbon emissions from the U.S. transportation section will be a challenge requiring the utilization of a range of solutions.
