Not sure who started it first but I know F1 gave something like it a try, it was called the KERS system the past 2 years. Many teams abandoned it this year though as it was costly and didn't perform quite like they expected on the race cars. When used it was like giving a shot of nitro to the engine, they would hit a button as they came out of a turn to regain their speed easier and quicker.
I'll take a wait and see on this with trucks. I do not think it will reduce shipping costs right away if ever. How much more are the trucks going to cost now?
