UK Electric Road System

我们的研究探讨了电力道路系统（ERS）的可行性，该系统由架空线路组成，为44T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，从而实现政府的“10点”气候变化净零计划。工业界正在应对连续几届气候变化峰会和格里塔·滕伯格（Greta Thunberg）等活动家提出的挑战。我们的世界级团队包括科斯坦，西门子，SPL，斯堪尼亚，剑桥大学，赫里奥特瓦特和奥雅纳。该公司已经在瑞典和德国验证了这项技术。下一步是展示一个经济和碳友好的端到端解决方案。此外，我们会考虑更广泛的环境影响和公众意见。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任。我们将与英格兰公路局合作，建立一个更安全、易于维护的道路系统。我们也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，以确保顺利过渡到电动卡车。我们的初步建模表明，它比现有的柴油系统提供更好的价值。通过与公路运输公司合作，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在欧洲领先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毕业生和在校学生。我们将与学校建立联系，让他们分享这个生态之旅。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胜者参加一天的展览。从长远来看，我们将与总部位于唐卡斯特的国家先进交通与基础设施学院等机构合作制定技能课程。让我们不要忘记对人们进行新技能再培训的机会，这与潜在的200亿英镑市场有关。我们希望开发能够证明该系统的物流和经济效益的金融和运输模型。这将需要通过吸引私营部门投资来采取新的创新办法。结果将是双赢的。获奖者将包括英国税务海关总署、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.
