Did you know that an ordinary truck outputs up to 223 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per year?
That’s the same amount 14 Americans give off in a year, according to The Nature Conservancy organization.
To mitigate such a strong negative effect on the environment, new technology was invented - a special electric highway for trucks.
In it, as conceived by the engineers, heavy vehicles are driven by electricity, not fuel. But is there a future for the new technology? According to the International Transport Forum, which is part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, trucks and wagons will soon account for 15% of the projected increase in global CO2 emissions until 2050. Therefore, this problem needs to be addressed now. See also: Electric Trolley 2.0 Bussen In Arnhem
