The Volvo Group is now taking the next step in the
development of sustainable transport solutions. In collaboration with the
Swedish Transport Administration, the Volvo Group will study the potential for
building electric roads, where city buses can be charged from electricity in
the road at the same time as the bus is in operation. The benefit is quieter
and more climate-smart public transport. A 300- to 500-meter electric road may
be built for test operations in central Gothenburg during 2015.
