ADVICE ON EGTs

I have always wondered about making a truck run like a locomotive. Diesel engine turning a generator which powers traction motors. I know that weight is a factor and it might not work but it's an idea. Has to be a way to make it work somehow. Imagine you engine only turning 900 rpm's at full throttle throwing down say 500 hp or more.



The Army's "Future Combat System" is going to be a 5. 5 liter high RPM (about 4000) diesel hybrid operating at optimal RPMs (when it's running).
