Regulating buses and trucks to be electric in short timespan would be much harder politically.

Having the conversion option available would be a great addition to synthetic carbon neutral diesel compatible fuels.

Syn-fuels are never carbon neutral, you always have CH4 Emissions when producing, transporting,storing or burning fuel (and N2O too if you burn the fuel using air and not pure oxygen). CH4 is not only a rather potent GHG, it also oxidizes to CO2. Obviously the emissions are a lot lower than using fossil fuels but they are still there.

Most busses here (the Netherlands) already are electric I have read in China it's the same. For trucks it will be harder though
