The A35 Brebemi highway, Italy, has built a test track (“Arena of the Future") equipped with Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer technology (DWPT). The 1km long track was dimensioned for a maximum power of 1 MW and a maximum speed of 100 km/h. The tests are carried out with all-electric vehicles New Fiat 500 and an IVECO Intercity bus. The results show that the DWPT enables a battery-electric vehicle [...]

Introduction On December 31, 2022, the first evaluation phase of the first field trial of an overhead power supply system as an electric road system (ERS) in Germany will end after 3.5 years. The electrified route of 10 km (in both directions of travel) is currently being extended to 17 km. The Institute of Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering (TU Darmstadt) is leading the analyses of the [...]

Governments face the challenge of decarbonising the transport sector. For heavy-duty road freight transport in particular, various climate-neutral technologies are still being discussed to replace diesel trucks, such as the direct use of electricity in battery electric trucks, the use of hydrogen in fuel cell electric trucks and the use of bio fuels or synthetic renewable fuels in trucks with internal [...]

In recent years, with the rapid development of electric vehicles (EV), design and evaluation of different types of solutions for EV charging has also been the subject of numerous studies. In particular, dynamic wireless vehicle charging by induction appears as a promising charging solution, offering several advantages: no physical connection with the vehicle, no handling by the car user, and reduced [...]

Summary In recent years, various Electrical Road System (ERS) technologies have emerged with great potential to create an efficient charging infrastructure to electric vehicles. With a modern ERS follows several benefits such as decreased greenhouse gas emissions and an up to 70 percent reduction of the required battery size. A road-based ERS can supply energy to almost all types of electric vehicles [...]

In order to achieve climate neutrality by 2045, the German Climate Protection Act stipulates a mandatory reduction of 65% in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared with the reference year 1990. In the transport sector, which is particularly challenged due to a lack of emission reductions so far, a relatively small number of heavy-duty vehicles cause a large share of emissions. Although there is [...]

Dynamic charging of heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) via overhead contact lines (OCL) enables interoperability for future zero emission trucking on most frequented road freight corridors by normative standardization work. For this dynamic charging solution, there is concrete interest from numerous countries in the form of feasibility studies or implementation considerations. Against this background, [...]

The EU has set out very ambitious targets for reducing GHG emissions from road transport by 2030, which need to go beyond the conventional framework. All achievable solutions should be investigated and the most efficient ones should be implemented to fulfil these objectives. The main technologies for decarbonisation of road transport are: biogas, biodiesel, battery electric vehicles (BEV) and charging [...]
