A DOE project called the "More Electric Truck" is working on making diesel engines for long-haul trucks more efficient. The project aims to take loads off the engine by using electrically powered accessories instead of mechanically powered ones. Electrical power allows the accessories to operate independently of the engine, so they can perform at the precise speed, pressure, or flow rate required.
