But Ski how efficient is the CPP?.
If you loose 10% efficiency from being mismatched (as in a straight drive) and you loose 10% efficiency w a CPP then it's a waste of money .. efficiency wise.
How would diesel electric compare to the CPP?
I suspect that the straight drive is so simple and inexpensive it can't be beat. Anything but straight drive is too expensive and too complicated.
