Technology is applying science to solving problems. Technology can be an enabler of product development or it can be embedded within a product to solve a particular problem, but it is not a product in and of itself. Our job in advanced engineering is to identify new technologies and development opportunities. It is exciting work. |
There are lots of new problems to solve today. Technology is perhaps our most powerful tool to get the job done. |
You could also locate a smaller engine elsewhere, say under the sleeper bunk. I have a patent for that, in fact. Moving the engine could reduce the frontal area of the truck and enable aerodynamic and weight-distribution improvements that are not feasible now. Generally speaking, I think we'll see more interest in what hybrid technologies can do; there will be people very open to trying new solutions. |
