Another new spin would be diesel over electric trucks like have been used in locomotives for years. A flat max torque curve that starts from idle to wide open again would be sweet pulling any trailer. All this may be way down the road but any thoughts?
This is what I am looking for. Basically no transmission. Electric gets you around town stop and go. About 45 mph a single clutch connects the engine to the drive train and away you go. Engine could self start if needed to charge the battery around town. Maybe 40 to 100 mile range on battery (not towing).
