Electrified roads

The road to fossil free transportation

2017 Commercial Road Transport Symposium, Malmö 2017-10-12 Hans Säll, CEO eRoadArlanda and Head of Business Development at NCC

eRoadArlanda

• A pre-commercial procurement

process was initiated in June 2013 – the largest yet in Europe – by the Swedish Transport Administration, VINNOVA and the Swedish Energy Agency.

• In June 2015, it was decided that

two of the eleven consortiums will electrify existing public roads: eRoadArlanda and Gävle Electric Road.

Global CO2 emissions

1/3 from heavy vehicles 2/3 from cars

Gasoline vs. electricity in Sweden

• Motor output (efficiency):

– Gasoline = 30% – Electricity = 85%

• Cost of running a car (without taxes)

– Gasoline = 6 SEK = 100 % – Electricity = 25 % – Difference = 75 %

Three steps to achieve fossil-fuel-free transportation

1 2 3

A bit of history

• The world’s first Porsche, in 1898, was

battery powered

• The first hybrid car was built in 1900
• At the same time, a system for

leasing and battery replacement was introduced.

• Up until 1916, the U.S. dominated in electric cars

The world’s first “e-bus”

• Tested in Berlin in 1882

and manufactured by Siemens

• Today, there are

more than 350 different trolley-bus systems in the world

If all cars in Sweden were a Tesla: = 2 miljoner m3 batteries If all heavy vehicles is equipped with 4 h electrical driving power = 0,2 miljoner m3 batteries

Impact on society costs

Significant cost and environmental savings! If passenger cars can use the technique for electrified roads. 325 m 472m 47 m

The solution

45 km Direct feed Battery In Sweden it would be sufficient to electrify 20 000 km of totally almost 500 000 km roadways at a cost of about 10 - 15 BnEUR

Sweden are importing fossil fuel amounting to 6 BnEUR every year

Charging while driving

Conductive technology – feeding from above

Charging while driving

Inductive technology – feeding from the road

Charging while driving

Conductive feeding from the road- Our choice

Conductive technology with feeding from the road

• Vehicles are charged and operated

while driving

• Works for all types of vehicles
• Existing infrastructure can be used
• Can reduce CO₂ emissions by 80-90%
• Batteries can be reduced to less than

50 km range.

• Cost is expected to come down to less

than one MEUR/km

How the rail are layed down into the road

Target in full production: 1 km per hour

• Brand: DAF
• Converted by: E-traction
• Engine, power train and diesel tank

removed.

• Two motors built into the rear axle. Total

power of 226 kilowatts (300 hp).

• Battery: 80 kWh, weight 600 kilos.
• Weight: 18 tons
• Load: 6.5 tons
• Emissions: Zero
• Driving characteristics: Quiet, better

acceleration and stable with low center of gravity

The Truck

Test track at Arlanda

• A 200-meter test track was built in

May 2012.

• Additional 150 meters in October

2014.

• The first 200 meters were replaced by

version 3 in August 2016.

• Additional 50 meter version 4 was

installed in March 2017.

28

• Construction of rail has been changed

during the project.

• Almost everything we do is about

starting from scratch.

• New technology in a public road = a

lot of anxiety and tough demands.

• No existing industrial production of

rails.

• No standards, not even similar

standards.

• The choice of a fully electric truck has

been a long and bureaucratic process.

Some challenges

29

Ongoing and coming activities

• Electrifying 2 km between Arlanda Airport and

Rosersberg Freight Terminal

• Civil works beside the road (cables etc.) have

been finalized in September 2017.

• Ongoing production of rails.
• Focusing on safety and system verification.
• Waiting for ”GO” to start mounting the rails into

the road.

• Commercial transports started in September 2017
• Increasing number of visits and presentations
