Shocking! This is an actual #freight #train moving over a twisted, "bendy" #railway #track linking #Ohio and #Indiana in the #USA!! It's like a 4th world country. America should fix its sh*thole #infrastructure rather than #waging #endless #wars.
vs
China has become the first country in the world to realize a high-speed freight.

Electrifying Trucking From Delhi To Shenzhen and San Francisco - How Lessons Learned Around the Globe Can Accelerate the Electrification of Road Freight
While freight movement plays a critical role in economic development and quality of life, it also has adverse consequences for public health and carbon emissions. This is due mostly to the pollution from diesel and gas used to fuel these vehicles, which ends up in our atmosphere and our lungs. And it’s particularly true in cities — many of which already have poor air quality.
There are now over 215 zero-emissions commercial freight vehicle models available globally — a number expected to rise to over 240 by 2023.
The United States has also made progress with respect to electric truck adoption. For example, over 137,000 zero-emissions freight vehicles have been deployed or ordered to date. Much of this progress has been thanks to industry leadership and collaboration.

Don’t expect shipping pressures to ease anytime soon, say industry analysts
Shipping costs have increased substantially since COVID-19, with knock-on impacts on the solar industry as modules prices rise lockstep with higher logistical costs. Even though demand for freight has recovered since the early days of the pandemic, supply has failed, or is unwilling to, catch up. Shipping companies have learnt to manage supply, are enjoying record profits and have no incentive to return to the low prices of 18 months ago, with exorbitant shipping rates likely here to stay, industry insiders told PV Tech.
