Most trains are in fact electric (to wit “hybrid”) because of the enormous torque.
Tesla is about to release their all-electric semi.
There’s an all-electric giant dump truck in use now.
Electric motors have amazing torque. Battery packs are the limiting factor, not torque.
Not to mention bridge-lift systems, submarine and ship drives, cranes, articulated stadium roofs, etc., etc.
To say electric motors haven’t got enough torque for the job is just plain incorrect.
