These same guys are building a commercial heavy-haul, vocational targeted diesel-electric hybrid truck. Their plan is to run a diesel at about half the normal displacement, and have batteries for a few hundred km of range. The axles are e-axles with no mechanical connection from engine to axles. The guys that started the company are heavy-haul truckers, and they think they've found some niches were the diesel-electric would shine.
