"textContent": "This is really good news! The government originally was not allowing them to sell their hybrid trucks and they had to pivot to building regular diesels. Some weird technicality about a generator engine not being rated for on road use. Legal to run the generator in a stationary application but not legal to run it to power a vehicle.\n\nThey have now been approved so they can continue down their original goal of hybrid trucks. I assume I can share this as it doesn't say confidential anywhere but I also don't see anything official on their site or Youtube channel yet. I presume they'll make a video soon going into more details. Really excited about this as I always felt series hybrid made the most sense especially for larger trucks and equipment.\n\n\n\n\n### \n\t\t\t\t\t\tPress release May 5 2026.pdf\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\ndrive.google.com",
