Would seem logical, presumably they would be hybrids so that once they get to the end of the motorway section they revert to diesel, my only concern is where all this electricity is going to come from, unless the make them run at night.

Would you rather they burned the diesel all the way ?

I would rather they weren't on the road at all & that the rail network was put back to what it should be & next day delivery from Amazon be banned, but what has it got to do with me what they do?

Rail isn't really flexible enough for most deliveries. They can handle bulk loads and container hub traffic, but long struggled to be effective (let alone efficient) for most delivery work.

only because it's been run down since Beeching, with the correct infrastructure it could work with road transport

It has, according to the article, hydraulic drive to the front axle, for work in the foothills of the Alps!

Check out the handbrake systemand it might need some oil.

Another lorry that can survive in Africa, looking at the street garages maintenance plans are non existent.
