Allright, there is regenerative braking. And fuel cut off in deceleration.

Please remember seifrob, even though I did try my best to run the engine as close to Peak Torque rpm as possible, the rpm varied from 1100-1250 rpm during the shifting of the 13 speed tranny.

Also, the engine in the BulletTruck was 15 Liters and weighs 3200 lbs. The engine in the new truck weighs 900 lbs., and is less than 1/2 the displacement and the associated fuel savings.
