E- Mobility road freight

In order to reach the ambitious climate goals that have been set, CO2 emissions from trucks must be substantially reduced. Since it isn’t possible to shift a large share of freight transport to rail, reliable and environmentally compatible trucks must be used to handle the bulk of the freight. The eHighway developed by Siemens Mobility is an efficient, safe and sustainable solution for trucking freight on heavily used routes and has already reached a high degree of product maturity.

The technology developed by Siemens Mobility supplies hybrid trucks with electricity from an overhead line via a pantograph. The system not only slashes energy consumption by half, but also substantially reduces local air pollution. Siemens Mobility has been demonstrating the innovative system on public highways in pilot projects in Sweden and, since May 2019, in Germany as well.
