Awesome projected hybrid combo numbers. You'll want to challenge Bruce Mallinson to an uphill drag race, ha!!
Hey slowmover -

Long time no talkie.

No, we are not using that cool crankshaft-driven cooling fan like on the BulletTruck. But our great partner, Horton Cooling, has provided a new low HP requirement fan and one of their wonderful computer-controlled variable viscous drives. So if the engine only needs 10% cooling, that's all that the fan puts out.

Yeah, that horsepower figure will blow trucker's minds, especially with the anticipated MPG that we will get. Although I am not publicly predicting any MPG numbers. But remember, it will be like 98% highway miles.
