“Siemens has teamed up with Volvo Group to test the feasibility of an “eHighway” electric truck system that uses overhead wires for power, much like trams.”
A step too far?
Tmed up with Volvo, but are using a Scania…
I think something like this may be seen in Edinburgh sooner than would perhaps be expected. There are already the electrically-powered vehicles in use there to take advantage.
Olog Hai:

one I used a few years ago so nothing new
If you have used an electric truck you will know they are good for ■■■■ all! Our one sits in the yard 99% of the time brokendown! And god forbid you break down on the public highway because they can’t be towed, need to bleedin get a low loader to recover it. Hit the slightest hill you go from 50 because that’s all they can do all the way down to 15-20mph. You’re a sitting duck if you need to switch lanes.
Bloody useless, send them over to holland where it’s awe flat!
