To half 2019 electrical workers in Germany will begin the experimental travels of truck on the highway drafts
With Sweden, Italy will be the third European nation in which the e-highways will be experienced
December 7, 2018
From half of the next year 15 trucks of Scania will come progressively introduced on the three highway drafts experimental electrical workers who are under realization in Germany. The delivery of first heavy means equipped of pantograph device in order to be connected with the power line aerial of which highway drafts are equipped these, device developed from the Siemens, will happen the next May and the vehicle will be employed on the A5 freeway to Hessen, on a feature of five kilometers in which already the installation in both is completed the tracks of the which electrified line suspended. The second which electrified draft will be realized along the A1 freeway that the port of Lubecca serves and will be completed in the course of the next summer, while third it will be realized along the federal road B462 in the state of Baden-Württenberg and will be finished at the beginning of 2020.
Al project "Trucks for German eHighways", that it is co-financed by the German government and it has the scope to reduce the produced carbon dioxide emissions from the heavy vehicles, besides the Siemens participates also the Wolkswagen group, while Scania brings to the German project the experience matured in an analogous initiative, to which the Siemens participates, that it is on in Sweden and that has seen the start of operating phase in June 2016 with the activation of an which electrified highway draft of the length of two kilometers in presses of the city of Gävle on which they have begun circular Scania endowed trucks of pantograph.
Next European center of experimentation of the freeway electrical worker will be Italy, with a draft of six kilometers of the freeway Brescia-Bergamo-Milan (Brebemi), between the tollbooths of Roman and Soccer, on which equipped Scania trucks will circulate with Siemens pantographs.
"With the exception of the motors vehicle for passengers, that they are parked and firm for great part of the day - has emphasized Magnus Höglund, responsible Electric Road System of Scania - the trucks are employed in activity of transport for many hours and stopping for the charge of the batteries can represent a meaningful interruption of the activity. The E-highways offer a rational and efficient system of charge of the batteries in the course of the travel. Moreover the solution allows a saving of the batteries and reduces the cargo of the net electrical worker".
