- yreg 4y agoThat's admittedly cool. However, you then need to have multiple tractor units with drivers in multiple cities + also the train engine, all coordinating for the handovers. I'm definitely not saying EV trucks with batteries + trolleys are better, but there is some simplicity that's not replicated with the rail solutions. And I have read sofixa's (somewhat mocking) comment as if they are saying that rail is simpler.
