Sweden starts world premiere: The first electrified motorway!
Uelzen, Deutschland - Sweden is future -oriented and has opened the first permanently electrified road in the world. This innovative route on the E20 motorway extends over 21 kilometers between Hallsberg and Örebro and enables electric vehicles and trucks to recharge their batteries while driving. Similar to a Carrera-Bahn, the vehicles can absorb energy and thus drive more environmentally friendly into the future. The initiative is part of a comprehensive plan to make Sweden independent of fossil fuels by 2030, because the transport sector contributes around 30% to CO₂ emissions in Sweden. Road traffic has the largest part, which underlines the need for such projects. az-online.de has been reporting with various "e-road" technologies for years, more efficient design.
What is done when converting the E20? The cost of around 2.7 million euros per kilometer is only the beginning. Additional maintenance and modernization costs are also responsible for those responsible. The highway, which connects Stockholm with Gothenburg and Malmö, should be ready for operation by 2025. A partial electrification of 25% of the most used roads in Europe is planned, which could potentially reduce the actual batteries of electric cars by a third. ourCommonfuture.de There are challenges, for example missing cross-country standards and the petrol-driven infrastructure that adapt to change must.
innovative technology for the future
The focus is on two main technologies for implementation: conductive and inductive charging. While conductive systems are robust and need physical contact, inductive technologies offer wireless charging through electromagnetic fields. In the meantime, inductive technology is seen as a preferred solution in the tests. No wonder, because it could even make out the range of range of the drivers and enable smaller vehicle batteries, which is a plus for many. switching.de provides further information on how the inductive charging works and illustrates the advantages for the use of electric vehicles on long journeys.But Sweden still has big plans: by 2045, the e-road network is to grow on around 3000 kilometers and, above all, are created along heavily frequented routes. On this route, drivers could benefit from continuous charging while driving and save the search for charging stations. The project could not only revolutionize the use of electric cars, but also set international standards. Of course, technical and financial hurdles have to be overcome and questions about vehicle compatibility are crucial.
With this pioneering initiative, Sweden not only aims at a cleaner and more sustainable transport policy, but also wants to act as an international model for other countries. The current developments show that Sweden has a good hand when it comes to innovative solutions for the future.| Details | |
