The Freightliner SuperTruck uses a downsized and downsped 10.7-liter The Freightliner SuperTruck features a low-back-pressure, next-generation aftertreatment system that efficiently removes NO x from the exhaust stream. The aftertreatment system features additional insulation to retain maximum heat energy in the exhaust.

The more efficient combustion engine technologies, with their enabling of downsizing, come in compatibly with hybridization, with hybridization and electrification playing a larger role over time. The further downsized next-generation technologies can be very synergistic within hybrid applications. Planning background.
