Very interesting, and I'm OK in private use, not on our shared highways
Been up for a long time, just sharing posts now.
The startup that dares to ask, “Why does the Macbook driving my freight around need a whole cab?” just showed off a fully driverless, cab-less, and truck-less battery-electric freight platform designed to handle containerized cargo more efficiently than ever.

Remember that time Elon said he was making a semi-truck? 😂😂
Anyway, here's a real company making a real-life truck.
Up to 600km range.
20-80% fill in 50-85min
six-speed transmission
13-tonne axle
GCW of up to 48T with payload of 28T.These are the things we need to be doing for those “last mile" applications where electrified (catenary) rail is not possible.
The preview doesn't seem to be happening on the Inside EV website so I added a screenshot.
Here's the actual Volvo product page with a ton more details, pictures, video etc.

'Everything comes off a truck'.
And that was a choice to get votes?The common story is that rail was seen as competing with private enterprise trucking, and sole trader truck owners were seen as voters for neoliberal governments. So rail was neglected and trucks on the road encouraged.
Not sure how accurate this story is.

Bought some gas for one of my cars for the 1st time in months.
$78 15 for 13.026 gals at $5.999/gal for Premium which this particular car requires.
The last time I bought any gas, I think it was around $4.859/gal.
That's a 23.5% increase 🤦🏻♂️
I'm glad that I don't drive any of my ICE vehicles much any more. 😉
---------------
PS: I also own a #diesel #truck that I drive the least of all of my vehicles.
The price of diesel at the same station is now $7.299/gal up from around $5/gal the last time I looked.
That's a 46% increase in about the same time frame. 🤯
Just think what this increase is doing to the #trucking industry & what it will soon do to the cost of everything, because everything (at one stage or another) is delivered by truck.
The #USPS already announced that it is imposing an 8% fuel surcharge on pkg deliveries starting on 4/26.
This won't be the last that we see of such surcharges or other cost increases due to the higher fuel costs precipitated by #Drumpf's idiotic war in #Iran.🤦🏻♂️

Truck spotting Australia
Trucks are wonderful machines which bring most of what modern societies need to retailers from wholesalers, accross thousands of kilometers nautical & land miles
Wave to a truck driver when he sees you, their lives are lonely since they need to spend hours on the road and sleep in the trucks too at truck stops
In AU, do NOT overtake a road_train!
- request attention from the driver
- he will signal you when it's safe to pass
- it can take many minutes!
- DON'T BE A HERO!
- The driver has three sometimes even four trailers he pulls, he IS a train on the road
- A lot of mass is moving there
- MASS IS SLOW
Don't be a hero don't pass a road train without thinking!
Road Trains can be fun to drive but it is a tasking job, more intense than driving single trailer trucks. The vehicle mutli-trailer combo acts slow in response to all your moves. forcing you as the driver to pre-calculate them and anticipate the delayed reaction
Definition
A road train, also known as a land train or long combination vehicle (LCV), is a semi-trailer truck used to move road freight more efficiently than single-trailer semi-trailers. It consists of two semi-trailers or more connected together with or without a prime mover.[1] It typically has to be at least two trailers and one prime mover.
Important
Road trains are often used in areas where other forms of heavy transport (freight train, cargo aircraft, container ship) are not feasible or practical
