"Small gas turbines for power generation are ubiquitous"
In aircraft.
They're not terribly efficient (about half that of a diesel piston engine) but they're low maintenance and lightweight. In aircraft both of those are critical factors (It used to be that a 4 engine piston aircraft would spend 8-12 hours per engine in maintenance after a transcontinental flight and reliability was such that the Lockheed Super Constellation was affectionately known as "the most reliable 3 engine airliner plying the Pacific")
HGVs don't need 900+hp and they need far better efficiency than a turbine can provide. Turbine-electric was tried and discarded for railway locomotives as too inefficient despite giving 4500hp in a compact package
