Freightliner's Supertruck 1?



Just kidding - International rolled out a really nice truck. They drew the card for hybrid trucks this go-around and they did a good job with it. There is a lot of tech that is realistic to transfer over to production commercial vehicles. Unfortunately mirror cams still aren't legal due to the NHTSA dragging their feet.

This is the truck in question for those that don't click mystery links


Supertruck III was recently announced and here is what is going to be worked on. (Each manufacturer doesn't just go all-out, they are assigned different tech to use) https://www.act-news.com/news/u-s-do...-supertruck-3/
