That's really cool, but to me that's way too many moving parts. I think that would be an amazing engine for a generator. Not to mention it seems rather large.
You didn't read the article did you, has far less electrical, mechanical and moving parts than a regular engine and its a 2.5L that weighs 300lbs vs a cummins that weighs 1100lbs. Measures around 42"X22"X18". Typical post on this forum these days judge before you know. The only thing I want to know is how it holds up, navistar has already picked it up and its ready for production so we should know soon.
480 hp and only 1100 # of torque.. It's a pile of garbage for a class 8 anywhere but flatland city driving!
a diesel generator weighes enough!!
on the bright side you can transplant the motor into your next 3 sleds

This is the prototype, we all know if it works it can be tweaked to our liking
I bet you are right and this would be just the beginning, the diesel engine responds so well to boost and hold such a long life. With today's technology they are spinning higher and becoming more and more efficient. I would love to see one of these in a sled
