Germany has opened its first e-highway, where hybrid trucks connect to overhead power lines while driving underneath
London Trucks are guzzling ever more diesel, polluting towns and cities and fueling climate change. Germany thinks it may have found the answer by using overhead lines to power big rigs.
A system that allows trucks to draw electric power from overhead cables went into operation on 10 kilometers of the autobahn on Tuesday, according to the German government. It's the first such test on a public road in Germany. Developed by Siemens , the system allows big rigs with special equipment mounted on their roofs to connect to electrified lines while traveling at speeds of up to 90 kilometers per hour .
