This is the same for the train and shipping industries. I’ve always thought those vehicles had ample opportunities to capture solar rays and wind since they’re out in the open all the time, but we simply don’t have batteries and engines powerful enough yet.

I mean, basically every train engine you'll see that isn't steam is powered by electric motors. The diesel engine just makes electricity for them, and is not used to directly drive them via transmission like in a car or truck.
