The sleek tractor-trailer combination boosted fuel efficiency by 70%—exceeding 12 mpg, with some test runs showing more than 13 mpg—in road tests, and powertrain brake thermal efficiency reached 50%. This new design added “wave” bumps on the side of the piston bowl, which allows the fuel to burn more cleanly.).
