New energy power blossoms, using power from pure electric power to plug-in, hybrid, and has achieved both emissions and power. recently, foreign media reported that a 6-kilometer highway in Frankfurt, Germany, uses overhead cable technology to charge commercial vehicles with internal combustion engines.

The experimental road technology, called eHighway, which was jointly developed by Continental, Siemens and Scania, will run until 2022 and will then be rolled out on road networks across Germany.

Ehighway technology uses 670V high voltage overhead cable and pantograph technology commonly used in electrified railway network to charge hybrid trucks; when using ehingway technology, the vehicle can be driven by electricity alone. When driving off the highway network with cables, the vehicle can work through its own power battery and internal combustion unit. The new technology aims to make up for the lack of battery capacity on the existing diesel electric power.

Siemens says its eHighways technology can save fuel for a 40-ton hybrid truck that can travel more than 100000 kilometers, or about 20, 000 euros (154000 yuan). From a technical point of view, the vehicle can be used on highways without overhead cables and can power purely electric commercial models. Ehightway technology is also being tested in Sweden and California.
