liter engine, a hybrid system, a Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) system, along with a number of other upgrades. The Freightliner SuperTruck features a low-back-pressure, next-generation aftertreatment system that efficiently removes NO x from the exhaust stream. This reduces friction, and increases efficiency and fuel economy.

The Gen III Prius offers an EPA-rated combined cycle fuel economy of 50 mpg (now revealed to comprise 50 mpg city and 49 mpg highway). This is about a 10% improvement in EPA-rated combined cycle fuel economy over the older generation. An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has also been added. Click to enlarge.
