Other positive effects are that peaks in electricity consumption would be reduced if car drivers did not entirely rely on home charging but also supplemented it with electric road charging many people charge their cars after work and during the night which puts a lot of strain on the power grid By instead charging more evenly throughout the day But different groups of motorists also have different conditions for benefiting from the combination of stationary charging and ERS depending on driving patterns and proximity to electric roads some would manage with only electric road charging while others would not be able to use the opportunity at all we see that those who live in the countryside would need almost 20 per cent greater range on their batteries compared to those who live in a city centre," says Wasim Shoman The study also shows that small batteries do not automatically lead to charging through ERS "Just because you can charge does not mean the consumer actually wants to do it at every given opportunity becomes extremely important because benefits and costs may become unevenly distributed And there are no decisions yet on what the business model should look like," says Sten Karlsson There are a few short test sections with different electric road technologies in Sweden but the first pilot with a permanent electric road is now underway The Swedish Transport Administration is building a 21-kilometre stretch between Örebro and Hallsberg alongside the E20 The electric road is expected to be completed in 2026 You can read more about the project on the Swedish Transport Administration's website SLP announced earlier in December that it had signed an agreement to acquire two logistics properties located in Hallsberg and Nässjö The transaction was conditional on the Swedish Strategic Products Inspectorate having made a decision to approve or leave the investment made through the acquisition without action The deal has taken place through a so-called "sale and leaseback transaction" with PostNord AB run for 7 years with an annual rental value of just over SEK 33 million Both properties have building rights for future expansion "We are very satisfied with the acquisition of two strategically located and fully leased properties from PostNord which are both located along important railway routes are positioned to play an important role in the future of sustainable freight transport," says Tommy Åstrand The agreed property value amounts to approximately SEK 470 million The properties are acquired via corporate transactions and are financed with own funds The information on this page is intended for journalists If you click NO you will come back to Mynewsdesk.com A new rail shuttle has been established between Hallsberg and the Port of Gothenburg This will give companies in the Hallsberg region an effective link to the Port of Gothenburg's worldwide services SCT Transport and its supplier Tågfrakt have moved their operating base from Örebro to Hallsberg Companies in Hallsberg now have their first rail shuttle to the Port of Gothenburg Hallsberg will become one of 22 towns and cities in Sweden and Norway with a direct rail link to the Port of Gothenburg "Swedish companies often face long distances to import and export markets and anything that can reduce the distance is vital to the competitiveness of industry," says Magnus Kårestedt The rail shuttle departs five days a week in both directions The shuttle travels directly from the Hallsberg terminal to the Port of Gothenburg where freight can be loaded rapidly onto vessels for export to various parts of the world or from vessel to rail for direct transport to the Hallsberg terminal Head of Rail Operations at the Port of Gothenburg feels that Hallsberg is a valuable addition to our rail shuttle system "It will now be even easier for companies in central Sweden to reach the whole world with their freight in a way that is both efficient and environmentally wise." The Hallsberg terminal offers a range of services adapted to different logistics and freight management needs Firmly on track More and more freight is being transported by rail to and from the Port of Gothenburg the port rail terminal handled 374,000 containers and new volume records are set every quarter The system also brings significant environmental benefits around 50,000 tonnes of carbon

road open in Sweden as of April 2024 that's not true: Several short sections of prototype electrified roadway in Sweden have been used to test various charging methods for electric cars and trucks permanent and open-for-public-use electrified road has not been constructed A 13-mile pilot project was to be developed along a section of European route E20 in Sweden between Hallsberg and Örebro The plan to build the electrified road was paused by the Swedish Transport Administration before the procurement phase because the project costs would have exceeded the budget The claim appeared in a meme (archived here) published on Threads on April 14 "Cool" and the text caption on the meme reads: (Source: Threads screenshot taken on Wed Apr 17 14:49:40 2024 UTC) A two-kilometre test stretch of Highway E16 in Sandviken has been equipped with overhead electrical wires that can be used to feed power into trucks that have a hybrid-electric motor Another project, Smartroad Gotland, was billed as the "World's First Wireless Electric Road." The 1-mile section of road, which opened in September 2023, uses wireless inductive technology to power an electric bus and an electric truck from the island's airport to the Visby town center. The project's website describes it as "a demonstration." We have canceled the procurement and are starting an analysis phase to move forward with the project Lead Stories reached out to the Swedish Transport Administration for comment and will update this article if we receive a reply Additional Lead Stories fact checks on claims regarding electric vehicles can be found here Sarah Thompson lives with her family and pets on a small farm in Indiana She founded a Facebook page and a blog called “Exploiting the Niche” in 2017 to help others learn about manipulative tactics and avoid scams on social media Since then she has collaborated with journalists in the USA Canada and Australia and since December 2019 she works as a Social Media Authenticity Analyst at Lead Stories Chat with our friendly robots on WhatsApp Add our number +1 (404) 655-4223, follow this link or scan the image below with your phone: Please select all the ways you would like to hear from Lead Stories LLC: You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link in the footer of our emails For information about our privacy practices We use Mailchimp as our marketing platform.
