(1) | Revenue earning equipment, net includes vehicles under capital leases of $43 million, less accumulated depreciation of $22 million, at December 31, 2016 and $47 million, less accumulated depreciation of $22 million, at December 31, 2015.
Depreciation expense was $1.10 billion, $1.04 billion and $968 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In 2016, based on current and expected market conditions, we accelerated depreciation on certain classes of vehicles expected to be made available for sale through June 2018. The impact of the change increased depreciation by $10 million in 2016. Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses on vehicles held for sale for which carrying values exceeded fair value are recognized at the time they arrive at our used truck centers and are presented within "Used vehicle sales, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (trucks, tractors and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. For a certain population of revenue earning equipment held for sale, fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. Expected declines in market prices were also considered when valuing the vehicles held for sale.These vehicles held for sale were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During 2016, 2015, and 2014, we recognized losses to reflect changes in fair value of $67 million, $18 million and $11 million, respectively. The following table presents our assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and considered a Level 3 fair value measurement:
