Germany’s Environment Ministry along with engineering company Siemens have launched the nation’s first e-Highway earlier this year, powering hybrid trucks in a first step towards transforming to a greener method of goods transportation.
The Swedish Transport Administration constructed a two-kilometer electrified road in the Stockholm area – the first of its kind that can charge all types of electric and hybrid vehicles – as part of a project aimed at electrifying all highways in the nation.
The United Kingdom launched the Charging Initiative Investment Fund with the aim of installing three thousand e-vehicle charging stations across the country, and Abu Dhabi’s Masdar is the first to show its support.
