Sweden launches the world's first electric expressway

The introduction of high-speed electric use in Sweden will open a new future for the energy and transportation industry in the world.

Recently, Sweden has for the first time launched an experimental electric expressway (eHighway) . This is an important effort by the Nordic nation in its strategy of removing fossil fuels from energy structure by 2030.

According to Slashgear technology site, a road section of 2km in length is arranged with an overhead power cable. Vehicles when traveling through this road will connect to the power line through the specialized department. The use of electric cables will help eliminate battery-related problems, operating range and minimize environmental pollution.

The route is located in the north of Stockholm, Sweden and is a road with many vehicles passing by. In the next two years, some trucks using electric-diesel hybrid engines carrying goods will be allowed to operate through here.

It is known that the company that built the electric route in Sweden is Siemens AG, the largest gas company in Germany and Europe today. The company has 6 business areas: automation & control, electricity, transport, health, information and communication and lighting.

Anders Berndtsson, the top manager of the Swedish Traffic Administration, said: "Until now, most of the freight transportation has been through road, only a few have been able to carry through That is the reason why, so far, we are still forced to let gasoline-powered trucks circulate on the road and in the future it will be the same. is a great addition to the domestic transportation system ".

In the process of testing a new expressway, hybrid-powered trucks can travel at 90km / h when connected to power lines.

Even the road developers have integrated energy regeneration technology in the braking process. This amount of electricity will be transmitted back to the grid and continue to power other trucks.
