Another one I found:

rail

Apparently this is a weak point for Europe, and even other rail systems like China's. The US has a relatively efficient cargo rail network, while more stuff is shipped across the EU in trucks than it probably should be.

    Well, Electric Trucks are prevalent now, so still pretty efficient

    Eh. I wasn’t specifically thinking of emissions, but overall cost, manpower, and road congestion.

    Diesel cargo trains dramatically reduce all that vs an electric 18 wheeler, even if EV trucks are prevalent. Though I suspect they’re still pretty rare.
