Well sure but who says it has to be diesel.
and even with Diesel it allows you to run the engine in it's most efficient way + Add torque when you need it. without a big plume of smoke
Most trucks don't need tractive effort for most of the time they are cruising...Their engines run low rpm, low load for most of their life..And that's not the time when they are polluting.
