So we're working on all of those technologies to work in conjunction with the diesel engine. At the same time, to your point on electrification, we're developing systems that can, in a really smart way, integrate 48-volt power into a diesel engine plus transmission kind of architecture that can allow engine-off coasting, so completely shutting off the diesel engine when it's costing. I think the typical line haul truck is coasting somewhere close to 20% to 30% of the time.

rodar com o motor desligado
"Coasting" é o chamado "descer na banguela", mas dependendo da tradução provavelmente ficaria melhor "rodar com o motor desligado".

andar em ponto-morto
O motorista não desliga o motor quando está "coasting". Os freios do caminhão são a ar: se você desligar o motor, fica sem freio. O termo se refere a andar de ponto-morto apenas.
