H-D Systems is a consulting firm providing engineering and policy management expertise to the global automotive industry. Although the firm is new, it’s staff and expertise are well established and are a spin-off division of EEA (Energy and Environmental Analysis, now a part of ICF). EEA’s automotive expertise is widely known in industry circles and its clients include most of the world’s largest auto-manufacturers. EEA reports have had a major influence on global automotive fuel economy regulations and its work has been the source of much of the technology cost and benefits data in the public domain. 

H-D Systems builds on the legacy of the EEA automotive group, and the new company continues to maintain a business relationship with ICF to permit sharing of staff and expertise in areas where there is no conflict of interest.

H-D Systems is headed by K.G. Duleep, a business management and engineering professional with more than 30 years of expertise in automotive engineering, economic policy, and environmental analysis. H-D Systems focuses on four core areas which are closely inter-related:

• Automotive Technology and Strategy
