Climate protection goals and rising emissions require new concepts in commercial highway traffic Reasons for action Initial situation and assumptions Increase in fuel prices due to greater global demand and scarcity of resources Goals Investigating the technical and economical feasibility of highway electrification Local emissions in urban areas have reached a critical point US truck traffic increased by 105% from 1980 to 2009, ongoing growth expected 1) Decreasing CO 2 emissions through using power based on renewable energy sources Through: 1. Developing a technical conceptual solution 2. Evaluating the economical and ecological benefit 3. Piloting the technical conceptual solution on a test track 1) U.S. Department of Transportation, FHWA Strategic Plan 111102_IC MOL presentation.ppt Page 4
