Trucks seem to be the perfect candidate for hybrid engines. Electric motors and batteries for the power needed to accelerate and climb hills, and gasoline for the energy density needed to actually get very far.
Trucks only need 200 hp to cruise so a 100 hp engine would extend the battery range a lot. I bet you could even take one of these 100 mile EV trucks, put a Prius engine in there, and make it go all day and double or triple the miles per gallon over a normal truck with 600+ hp engine.
