There are already plans in various places to equip highways with overhead wires that will allow trucks to operate like trams for the duration.
Never mind that diesel engines, used in most heavy machinery, is not as picky about its fuel as a gasoline engine is. As long as it goes bang under pressure, a diesel engine can potentially run on it. what is not needed is to electrify anything, but that CO2 in vs CO2 out sums to zero (or a lot damn closer to it than it currently does).

Electrifying all of the highways and roads trucks drive on would basically be building an entire grid again. That doesn't really fall under the technically feasible category.
