SuperTruck Making Leaps in Fuel Efficiency

2018
Truck Makers May Test Radically Different Aero Cab Designs With SuperTruck II
https://www.ttnews.com/articles/truc...-supertruck-ii

Quote:
The primary goal of SuperTruck II is to show a 100% freight-efficiency improvement in a tractor-trailer combination by either doubling the amount of freight that can be hauled with the same amount of fuel, or cutting fuel use 50%, in a representative customer drive cycle over a 2009 baseline, according to DOE.
SuperTruck Program Scores Big, Heads into Second 5-Year Phase
October 31, 2016
https://www.trucks.com/2016/10/31/su...-5-year-phase/

Quote:
Dubbed SuperTruck II, the five-year, $160-million program will see the same four teams of truck, engine and trailer builders from SuperTruck 1 attempt to move far beyond the successes they’ve already racked up. The teams spent $258 million – a combination of federal funding and their own money – on the first program.

Mid-1930s police car doesn't follow the default template:

Those machine guns remind me of a Dalek.

edit: Whelp, there's your problem:

Four wheel steering requires voice coordination. That 8-liter four mounted that high up?

If we had proper, side elevation views of the two, the Kamm/ Koenig research findings from FKFS would probably supply the numbers.
