      Electric Trucks are prevalent now,

      That would be nice, but only ~4% of the new trucks in the EU where electric in 2025. And there are a lot of old trucks which are almost exclusively ice-vehicles.

      Eh. I wasn’t specifically thinking of emissions, but overall cost, manpower, and road congestion.

      Diesel cargo trains dramatically reduce all that vs an electric 18 wheeler, even if EV trucks are prevalent. Though I suspect they’re still pretty rare.
