Yes and no. Trains do not work well for distribution centers like walmart, krogers, target, etc... The last 1-100 miles will need trucks.
Long haul, yes, trains _can_ be used. But there are situations where that is not a feasible solution.
- Pxtl 5y agoRight, but long-haul is where batteries don't work. If we can get rail to every regional distribution centre (or rather, build regional distribution centres at rail yards) and then use batteries for the last hundred km, that's a win.
