i dont think it will matter much as most drivers will never see it. the
majority (id guess at least 95%) of the trucking companies who could afford
such luxuries turn the power down on existing diesels and only turn it up
when going through the mountains. this can be done automatically via gps
and satellite connected computers.

.....sure isnt your mack truck of the 70s.
