In Sweden build "an electric" eco-way for public transport
Half a kilometer the road should appear in 2015.
To charge the buses can thanks to innovative treatment: under the asphalt, at a small depth, the developers plan to install induction equipment, which will create an electromagnetic field. Transport will be equipped with coils that convert the energy to direct current — their vmontiruet the bottom. Thus, without wires will recharge your batteries.
Thus, the investors plan to minimize the impact on the environment and develop environmentally friendly technologies.
The Volvo Group said that the company is offering hybrid buses with a traditional diesel engine, which is supplemented by electric engines. This transport allows to reduce the level of CO2 emissions. Three such machines are already in operation in Gothenburg: they are recharged at the terminal stations. The next stage of development for hybrid buses will be recharged during the journey, on certain road sections. Thus, public transport will be able to run on pure electricity.
