    looks like that new Kenworth T2000 (can't remember the actual number, just know it's the remake of the T2000) with some hood work done to it.. maybe they were victim to parking on the corner and lost their hood, and decided to have their truck stand out more.

    What surprises a lot of people is when they find out that the most aerodynamic trucks in production are COE designs.
    Have a look on the link , their future concept truck they propose is migrating towards a COE.

    it takes displacement to make more TQ from the Motor and Proper gears to make more TQ to the wheels.

    I saw something about this truck in Landline magazine. The article said that the truck had "achieved 13.45MPG on a revenue paying coast to coast run". Whatever that means.

    nope not exactly hp is a mathmatical equation of troque. Torque is how much force is applied hp is how often/fast it can do it.
