8 Speed Auto for HD trucks
Apparently, ZF is making an 8 Speed HD trans that can handle 1000 lb-ft. 2020 release date. I see it as the next trans in the Ram 2500 and 3500s. LINK

Maybe Diesel/Electric will take over like Locomotives and Ships!
Basically that is the Volt, except it isn't diesel and it has a battery pack to store energy.
The Volt is a drastically different solution from a diesel/electric train even though there are some parallels the reasons and benefits have little to do with each other.
Yes there are big differences but they are the same in that the engine in the Volt does not power the wheels. It only runs a generator which powers an electric motor and charges batteries.
