Cylinder deactivation on commercial vehicles

- cylinder deactivation when there's no load
- active communication with transmission for smooth shifts
- maybe use the exhaust brakes over the cylinders and convert that to air pressure or to an air motor for charging batteries?
- full communication with electrical system, if there are enough electrical demands, use just enonugh power from the engine to power it, if not, do batteries need charging, if not do air tanks need topped off, if not deactivate cylinder by not squirting fuel
