The primary SuperTruck initiative was launched in 2009 with 4 business contributors efficiently demonstrating new environment friendly applied sciences for Class 8 vehicles, a lot of which had been commercialized. SuperTruck 2 had 5 business contributors succeed with rising Class 8 truck freight effectivity and engine brake thermal effectivity. The contributors in SuperTruck 3 are concentrating on electrical and gasoline cell purposes for medium- and heavy-duty (MD/HD) vehicles.
