UK Electric Road System

我们的研究探讨了电动道路系统（ERS）的可行性，该系统包括为44吨电动卡车提供电源的架空线路。这是到2035年将柴油卡车从道路上移除的第一步，从而实现政府的“10点”净零气候变化计划。工业界正在应对气候变化峰会和Greta Thunberg等活动家提出的挑战。我们的世界级团队包括Costain，Siemens，SPL，Scania，剑桥大学，Herriot Watt和Arup。它已经在瑞典和德国证明了这项技术。下一步是展示一个经济和碳友好的端到端解决方案。此外，我们还将研究更广泛的环境影响和公众舆论。这将包括道路使用者、紧急和故障服务。我们的系统需要通过安全来赢得用户的信心。我们将与英格兰公路公司合作，创造一个更安全的道路系统，易于维护。我们亦会尽量减少施工期间的干扰。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合作，以确保向电动卡车的平稳过渡。我们的初步建模表明，它提供了比现有的柴油系统更好的价值。通过与公路运输商合作，我们将在物流和成本方面证明这一点。这项研究将创造英国领先欧洲ERS扩张的愿景。这将有利于英国的企业，有利于英国的就业，有利于北方的复兴。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上与他们进行接触，并邀请拟议的竞赛获奖者参加我们在展会上的一天。从长远来看，我们将与位于唐卡斯特的国家高级运输与基础设施学院等机构合作，确定技能培训项目。我们不要忘记为人们提供与潜在的200亿英镑市场相关的新技能再培训机会。我们希望开发金融和运输模型，以证明该系统的物流和经济性。这将需要采取新的创新办法，吸引私营部门投资。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。

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.
