That's really cool, I've always wondered why MFRs don't put more effort into wheel motors of some type, seems like it could be not only more efficient, but cheaper to manufacture.

I would love to see the day I could buy such a thing as a conversion part for other vehicles. Much like all the electric motors that are available these days. I think trucks really need a way to reuse their braking energy, and batteries are not a complete solution.
