Mobility as we know it today will change significantly over the years is coming

Is it in bridgeon ring roads with carpool lanes or motorways.

Indeed, France should soon begin experiments several electric mains reserved only to the heavyweights.

This idea is already being developed in Europe

So original idea but not new in Europe. Indeed, Sweden and Germany have already done so similar projects why France will produce

To better understand project electric lines, let’s see what is happening in the big cities In France.

In order to move around, one of the available means is tram (or electric train). That would be useful the same technology but to move trucks goods on contact networks and pantographs.

Investors are ready

To finance the project, Bpifrance has to play its part. other companies expected as Scania, a Swedish manufacturer belonging to the Volkswagen Group.

Scania already provides German highways with a fleet of 22 trucks equipped with electric roads.

You will also find there a subsidiary company Equans, belonging to the Bouygues group. This company is worth taking care of electrification roads

Finally, the German company Siemens has a role to play development of the contact networksince it is so for ten years.

Technologies under study

using contact networks proves, according to experiments, more effective than at charging stations highway.

Indeed, according to Gilles Baustert, Scania France’s director of marketing, communications and public relations: “If you want to charge trucks in 45 minutes at 640 kilowatt-hours, that would require a huge 800 kWh per megawatt installation.”

Cost these infrastructures will be, according to the calculations, up to 35 billion euros. At the moment, there are several technologies in the study.
