If you want to know where truck technology is going look at the SuperTruck program. Peterbilt, Navistar, Volvo, and Daimler participated and all were able to double fuel economy. The technologies used are unremarkably similar: Advanced aero, reduced weight, advanced electronic controls. That is the future.

The second round of the supertruck program kicked off in 2016. Cummings, Navistar, Daimler, and Volvo will participate.
