There are 5 testing areas for this atm and only a handful of trucks which use that. These are hybrid trucks having batteries and electrical engines besides the main traditional diesel engine. So it's far from an widely adopted tech right now.
If they can get that to work this can be massive, assuming we don't want to improve our rail infrastructure. It will also keep trucks from the passing lane
