A prime example of this is companies quieting down exhaust noises and piping simulated sounds into the cabin. This has gradually evolved into automakers hiding the exhaust ports altogether, sometimes replacing them with plastic veneers that do nothing while looking the part. But Western shoppers have proven likely to tolerate it.

For over 100 years now, trucks have roared down America’s many highways, leaving clouds of dust and exhaust in their wake. While it may seem like they are among the nation’s top polluters, trucking companies have a bottom-line reason to reduce fuel consumption and have been designing innovative ways to conserve gas for decades.
