Such a powertrain might also one day work in a 48 ft truck. However, we're no where close to such a reality, and the idea of pure battery powered trucks seem ludicrous at this point in time. What do you think about the Pickens plan for such trucks? Ron – I think in small vehicles, batteries can work, at least in some fashion, such as hybrids, including fuel cell hybrids.
