- lazide 4y agoThe question though, is why? I’m struggling to see a significant enough economic advantage with the ways trucks are used that would offset the larger capex and complexity. Diesel locomotives don’t use batteries, and have a very different load/power pattern
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoHybrid trucks make more sense than electric trucks, but diesel trucks make the most sense, is all I meant.
- lazide 4y agoThanks for clarifying, I totally misunderstood your point.
