The emotional support truck of choice around here is the F350 Super Duty, a truck so massive that it needs four rear wheels to carry its own ass. Hogs can't even park it without taking up half a bike lane and it averages 10-15mpg:

Am I being stupid or does this not add up at all unless you install the cowcatcher in question is mounted in the rear as sort of a dragnet. there's no car there to the right. it'd fuck up the pillar and the bicycles but that's a tram, I'd say it clears the idiotmobile given sufficient speeds
I think they think the truck will pivot around its center, the rear of it would hit the car on the left (the trucks right if facing forward tbh) which would then move forward into the trolley. The truck wouldn't pivot and would likely barely touch the left car, and even if it did pivot the left car has no reason to move forward as the force would be at an angle to it and also the parking brake should be on so it would more likely just have its back pushed out of the way and the front would barely move. Or they think the truck is bouncy but it would have to be pretty bouncy.
I'm not so sure, depends on if there are extra tram cars attached... That truck probably weighs 2700 kg / 6000 lbs, I'd guess it would derail the tram and cause significant damage
