It is technology that is late to the market. Glad someone is taking it serious and trying integrate them.
Lots of room for motors and batteries especially.

Logging is one huge application as is the long haul sector.

Forget totally electric Class 8 trucks for awhile and push this technology.

Who would turn down 14- 20% (and could be more) fuel savings and keep the diesels in your fleet.
