Not a problem. I have not heard of any of these technologies being used in the field. The only thing I have seen in diesel tech is a pressurized fuel system which is only an incremental improvement. Truckers are very conservative in their upgrades, remember that a truck has to haul up to 120,000 lbs (total weight), and has to last for anywhere between 500K and 1 million miles between significant rebuilds of any major piece such as transmission, engine, etc. On top of that, there is a patchwork of taxes, Federal regulations, etc. that change on a yearly basis. And trucking is very competitive and cut-throat, basically a low-margin business to be in. Low margins mean cost-cutting and no experimentation, so no one will test these new ideas unless they are paid to do so. (Each 18-wheeler used full time pays fuel and excise taxes of approximately $20K just for the fuel and taxes alone, not including the income taxes paid by the driver and the taxes on profits by the corporate owner; so there are lots of fixed costs to cover before anyone makes any money.)
