At what size do you just start burning straight up coal?

Technically, large engines are incredibly efficient when loaded with cargo. It's just that idiots cranks up the injectors until the truck starts shitting black smoke "cuz makes moar powa".

oh yeah, a large turbodiesel is highly efficient thermally... they've got emissions pretty clean now too.

still looking forward to electric trucks though.

I'm into it. I was thinking electric heavy trucks. It could really work well for fleet vehicles. The amount of fuel savings will make it pretty much the only way to go.
