Swedish Electric Roads
for Heavy Traffic.
Fossil fuels will be phased out regardless of if global warming, supply shortages or instable political situations will be key drivers. Our society depends on reliable and safe road transports whether goods, food or people is transported. The existing road network represents a massive societal investment, both from a monetary and an environmental perspective. Replacing the existing road network with other systems will add to the investments and will not deliver environmental gains fast enough. The main idea of this project is to improve the efficiency of the existing road network by electric roads with electric vehicles, thereby allowing long-distance heavy truck- and bus transports powered by electricity. Since electric engines are more energy efficient than internal combustion engines the environmental gain is huge and good step towards a fossil free society. The market for Swedish industry to export electric road transport systems and components is potentially very good.
