>>1170989Heavy cargo doesnt even move through cities anymore, all the industrial jobs are in industrial areas. I can only see little shunters doing work in those areas, and they'd work very well for it.
No one wants to unload 100 kg of vegetables from a tram in the middle of the road and haul it into their back-alley shop on a 2 meter road with a dolly. A tram can't even get in there. An electric truck would be better for this, with advances in automation a little truck like this could run 24/7, doing the work of multiple man-driven trucks.
