It's an awesome idea, but here are a couple more hurdles to go over;

-Weight, these trucks have strick on road weight restrictions and every pound you add to the rig is one pound less cargo they can haul.

-Assuming your accordion has at least three sides, which includes a roof, where does the stack exhaust vent? If like your picture, the stacks are behind the farings, this could cause some trouble.

-Plus wont the accordion shape itself cause some sort of turbulence?
