New Deisel/Electric Hybrid Semi Trucks Coming To A Truck Stop Near You

We all are aware of the amazing hybrid gasoline/electric personal passenger cars. But imagine looking into the lane next to you and seeing this semi cruise by. This could be very soon. With diesel fuel rising faster than gasoline, trucking companies will be pushing manufacturers to push this envelope. Electric motors on semi trucks? Many do not realize but the monster trucks of the mining industry have been using electric motors for years. With electric motors on each wheel, braking will be used to generate electricity. Trucks of today are on their way to complete computer controlled operations of the vehicle. This shows you where the computer will take you. For this and other very innovative designs like Honda's hover craft please follow this link:
