There has been an accelerated growth in power of diesel engines in United States line haul trucking. This paper analyzes the effect of high power on engine-related operating variables that occur under different highway conditions and dissimilar terrain features. When properly applied, high-powered diesel engines can increase average vehicle speed and/or fuel economy.
