Thanks a bunch for the answer Nick, it does help bring things into perspective, I am guessing when Volvo is advertising something like that, it comes at a cost of extreme engineering too, considering the truck design overall with drag
optimised aerodynamic body and similar optimisations taking into account, which are out of scope for the project idea that I am dealing with at the moment.
