I don't think this is meant as a replacement for long-distance transports (where trains and barges are already well established) but for the "last mile" where you need to transport only a few goods to varying destinations (but along an existing highway).
- matteuan 7y agoIt looks like the "last mile" problem is not solved if they have this infrastucture only on highways. Probably this project makes sense with large batteries on-board(e.g. Tesla semi).
