Germany may be Planning to convert 631 Miles of the Autobahn for Trolley Truck Use



Hi Folks:

   I saw this today.  The ongoing experiment in Germany with trolleytrucks will last until 2022. If successful, and if money is available, many miles of road will be converted,     I believe it was mentioned in the article that the overhead may be used by other vehicles for charging (in motion charging).   This would imply that a smaller truck with batteries if equipped with overhead can use the overhead for a charge and then leave the highway and proceed a long way without wires.  How about interurban service using trolleybuses as well?   But I think the overhead will need to be redesigned for use by trolley buses and trolley trucks.

DW reported that Germany could be planning to convert 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) of its 13,000 (8,077) Autobahn highway system into electric highways for hybrid trucks.
