The ceramic engine worked pretty good under ideal condiitons. In the real world however they are subject to failure a conventional diesel can withstand. Some serious $$$ to build a ceramic diesel too.
A "Rankin" gas turbine isn't the answer either even with "Brayton" boiler system to extract exhaust heat energy. It is complex and isn't any more efficient than that record setting marine diesel.
