I've thought a little about wood gasifiers and it's my understanding that they work far better with constant loads than something like a car that has continuously variable demand. The reason is your fuel output is relatively constant while your demand for fuel varies by whether you're idling, going down hill, or climbing the continental divide.
That's why I think the best application would be in a electrical generator that charges a bank of batteries that operates an electric car or truck. Kinda like how modern diesel trains run now, except with batteries instead of varying the generator speed. Obviously this would be a major build from the ground up, but I think it would be the best use of the technology for transportation.
