However, I don't think Trump's administration is astute enough to drive through (pardon the pun!) such a renaisance in transport provision and logistics.
All good initiatives but won't work over here yet!! Diesel in cars never took off here, they are a rare sight. Gas (petrol to you) is hovering around $3/gallon (about 65 pence per liter) here in California and we are the most expensive state, so there is no financial reason for people to worry too much about fuel consumption!! And lets not forget that the trump administration doesn't officially believe in global warming etc and so initiatives that promote a better environment are well off the table at the moment!!
