There are a lot of great technologies just coming forward right now, but this is one of the few that I've followed because of its ramifications for commercial transportation. I follow those techs closely and report on them often at GreenBigTruck.com. One of my sites that, I believe, Armen found me through.

I drove over the road for 3 years and still hold a commercial Class A license. The commercial transportation sector equates to about 1/3 of our nation's fuel use and trucking, specifically, is a large chunk of that. It's also more predictable and less demanding (in terms of market requirements) than consumer vehicles, so it has more potential for faster adoption of new technologies. It also directly benefits business owners immediately to reduce fuel consumption in cost-effective ways. So if a new tech can present them with a good ROI potential, they are very likely to adopt it.
