Another development in trucking efficiency that seems really interesting is the Achates opposed piston two stroke. If their materials are accurate, through fluid modeling they've achieved a massive efficiency boost and emissions exceeding regulatory targets without urea injection. In a piston ported two stroke.

I was hoping we'd see these engines running generators in Edison trucks one day.
