Factors influencing present and future truck design are national highway program, operation of double bottoms on turnpikes, and AASHO road tests; higher horsepower can be accomplished by greater displacement, higher engine speed, and supercharging; advantages of V design diesel engine which offers means of getting more horsepower in less lengths and with lighter weight compared to in-line engine in same horsepower range; closest contender for power plant of intercity highway truck is gas turbine.
