Our study examines the feasibility of an Electric Road System (ERS) which comprises overhead lines providing a power source to 44T electric trucks.This is the first step to removing diesel trucks from our roads by 2035, and thus meeting the Government's '10-point' net-zero plan for climate change. Industry is responding to the challenge laid down by successive climate change summits and activists like Greta Thunberg.Our world class team includes Costain, Siemens, SPL, Scania, Cambridge University, Herriot Watt and Arup. It has already proven the technology in Sweden and Germany. The next step is to demonstrate an economic and carbon friendly end to end solution.In addition, we shall look at the wider environmental impacts and public opinion. This will include road users, emergency and breakdown services. Our system needs to earn the confidence of users by being safe.We shall work alongside Highways England to create a safer road system which is easily maintainable. We shall also look to minimise disruption during construction. We shall examine opportunities afforded by 5G to develop systems that prevent congestion and accidents.We shall engage with single truck operators and fleet owners to ensure that there is a smooth transition to electric trucks. Our initial modelling shows that it offers better value than the existing diesel system. By working with road hauliers, we shall demonstrate this in terms of logistics and costs.The study will create the vision of the UK leading ERS expansion in Europe. This will be good for UK based businesses, good for UK jobs and good for the regeneration of the North.Another big winner are our school leavers and schoolchildren. We shall create links with schools to allow them to share this eco-journey. In the short term, we shall engage with them at COP26 with proposed competition winners joining us for a day at the exhibition. Longer term we shall identify skills programmes with institutions like the Doncaster based, National College for Advanced Transport & Infrastructure.Let's not forget the opportunity to retrain people in new skills which are relevant to a potential £20bn market.We wish to develop financial and transport models that prove the logistics and economics of the system. This will demand new innovative approaches by attracting private sector investment. The outcome will be win-win. The winners will include HMRC, road users, the environment, job seekers and long-term investors.

我们的研究探讨了电动道路系统(ERS)的可行性，该系统包括架空线路，为44吨电动卡车提供电源。这是到2035年将柴油卡车从我们的道路上移除的第一步，从而实现政府关于气候变化的10点净零计划。业界正在应对历次气候变化峰会和像Greta Thunberg这样的活动家提出的挑战。我们的世界级团队包括Costein、西门子、SPL、斯堪尼亚、剑桥大学、Herriot Watt和奥雅纳。它已经在瑞典和德国证明了这项技术。下一步是展示经济和碳友好的端到端解决方案。此外，我们还将关注更广泛的环境影响和公众舆论。这将包括道路使用者、紧急服务和故障服务。我们的系统需要通过安全来赢得用户的信任。我们将与英格兰高速公路合作，创建一个更安全、易于维护的道路系统。我们还将寻求将施工期间的干扰降至最低。我们将研究5G提供的机会，以开发防止拥堵和事故的系统。我们将与单一卡车运营商和车队所有者接触，以确保顺利过渡到电动卡车。我们的初步模型表明，它比现有的柴油系统提供了更好的价值。通过与公路运输商的合作，我们将在物流和成本方面展示这一点。这项研究将创建英国在欧洲领先的ERS扩张的愿景。这将有利于英国的企业，有利于英国的就业，有利于北部的复兴。另一个大赢家是我们的离校生和学童。我们将与学校建立联系，让他们分享这一生态之旅。在短期内，我们将在COP26上与他们接触，建议的竞赛获胜者将加入我们的展览一天。从长远来看，我们将与唐卡斯特的国家高级运输和基础设施学院等机构确定技能课程。我们不要忘记有机会对人们进行与潜在的200亿GB市场相关的新技能的再培训。我们希望开发出证明该系统物流和经济的金融和运输模式。这将需要通过吸引私营部门投资来采取新的创新方法。结果将是双赢的。获奖者将包括HMRC、道路使用者、环境、求职者和长期投资者。
