Yhatzee, that was exactly what I was thinking with the diesel electric train idea. Having motors built in the wheels would be awesome though. Imagine with a simple flick of a switch, turning your AWD electric car into a right wheel drive car or front passenger side wheel! Ah, the absurd combinations. I guess the only disadvantage with that would be more unsprung weight. Those motors can't be light!
As far as the trucks go, yeah I agree. I have to admit, I do chuckle a bit when they do that. I really doubt their engines will last all that long having to endure that douche-baggery. All that excess fuel has to do a good job washing the oil off the cylinders.
