The diesel engine would need to be running for the power steering and air brakes to work.John_S wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 4:29 pm I can see one big problem with it.
The video shows the truck's diesel driven wheels turning. Thus they are turning the drive shaft and rotating the gearbox all the time. When trucks are towed with the drive wheels on the ground, the drive shaft has to be disconnected to prevent the gearbox rotating. This is necessary as no oil is circulating in the gear box and it would otherwise soon seize up.

Yes my understanding was that this is a hybrid contributory system NOT an EV conversion.
