Sweden inaugurated a test stretch of electric road on the E16 in Sandviken, thus becoming one of the first countries to conduct tests with electric power for heavy transports on public roads. Electric roads will bring us one step closer to fossil fuel-free transports, and has the potential to achieve zero carbon dioxide emissions.
Volvo Cars, A-hus and Vattenfall recently launched the six-month One Tonne Life project—an attempt by a family (the Lindells) to cut their carbon dioxide yearly emissions from seven tonnes per person to a more sustainable one tonne. kWh used to power the car) that is recharged via a regular wall socket.
Over a three-year period, a small fleet of fully electric Volvo XC40 Recharge cars will be used as taxis by Cabonline, the largest taxi operator in the Nordic region, and charged wirelessly at stations in Gothenburg, Sweden. The charging station sends energy through the charging pad, which is picked up by a receiver unit in the car.
Installations at other LeasePlan locations will follow in 2010, supporting the company’s commitment to increasing the availability of low- and zero-emissions vehicles within its European fleets. Elektromotive has exported Elektrobays to Sweden, Holland, Germany, Ireland, Iceland and Saudi Arabia.
Volvo Buses’ new plug-in hybrid buses will begin field tests in Gothenburg, Sweden this month. The plug-in hybrids have been further developed, and enable rapid recharging from electricity grids via the Opbrid B?sbaar The conventional hybrid offers up to 37% fuel savings compared to a diesel version and 40-50% lower exhaust emissions.
Volvo Cars is working together with the company PowerCell Sweden AB on this project. The technology generates electricity completely without any emissions of carbon oxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), sulphur oxides (SO x ) and particles. a version of the PowerCell Power Pac. The technology also can be adapted for renewable fuels.
They then drove up through Russia, all the way to the North Cape in Finland—after which the crews headed back through Norway, Sweden and Denmark to finish in London in time for the opening of the Holland Heineken House in Alexandra Palace ahead of the Olympic Games.
The Renault-Nissan Alliance and UK company Elektromotive, a provider of electric vehicle recharging stations, are collaborating in the Partnership for Zero-Emission-Mobility, with the aim of accelerating the installation of charging networks for plug-in vehicles in cities. Earlier post.)
And if we could reduce or eliminate that problem, how would that actually influence the development of mobile and wearable tech beyond just not having to recharge as often? We just recharge this small rechargeable battery indoor and outdoor, just continues to charge all the time. We have zero emissions to air and water.
Policies to entice consumers away from fossil-fuel powered vehicles and normalize low carbon, alternative-fuel alternatives, such as electric vehicles, are vital if the world is to significantly reduce transport sector carbon pure-emissions, according to a new study.
Clean fuel adoption is being held back by three main barriers, the EC said: the high cost of vehicles; a low level of consumer acceptance; and the lack of recharging and refueling stations. Efforts to provide incentives have been un-co-ordinated and insufficient, the EC said. Natural Gas (Liquefied (LNG) and Compressed (CNG).
Bus operator Sales-Lentz will use the charger to recharge electric hybrid buses from Volvo. In October, ABB inaugurated the first bus charging station next to Volvo’s electric bus depot in Arendal, Sweden. Potentially 12 Volvo electric hybrid buses operated by Sales-Lentz will be running on existing public bus lines in Luxembourg.
The average gap between official fuel consumption figures and actual fuel use for new cars in the EU has reached 42%, according to the latest update by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) to its on-going research into vehicle fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. United Kingdom), km77.com Source: The ICCT. Peter Mock.
UK based Elektromotive is making headway in the electric vehicle recharging market after appointing ThePluginCompany to install networks of charging stations across Belgium and Luxembourg. Elektromotive has also exported its technology to the Netherlands, Iceland, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Germany and Sweden.
Saudi Arabia is probably the last place you’d expect to see a concerted shift towards emission free motoring - after all, the Kingdom is the world’s leading oil producer and exporter.
A Candela P-12 electric ferry operating in Nynshamn, Sweden was recently filmed operating in 50 km/h (31 mph) wind that whipped up the choppy water and resulted in swells as high as 2 meters (6.5 This electric ferry, named NOVA, has been operating since late 2024 when it took its maiden voyage on a route from Tappstrm in Sweden.
They can then quickly recharge at the dock in a matter of minutes. A Candela C-8 and P-12 at cruising speed near Stockholm Simultaneously, Candela is also celebrating another major milestone back home in Sweden, announcing an additional US $14M raised in its Series C round.
The P-12 ferry was “designed with both passengers and the environment in mind,” Hasselkrog said, and added that it offers “a very enjoyable experience without taxing the environment with wakes, emissions and noise.” less CO 2 during its lifetime than a conventional diesel vessel of the same size.
It was established in 2017 and is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, where Volvo has been for a long time (although the Polestar 2 is built in China). Any emissions for an EV come not from a tailpipe but from manufacturing, transportation and how the electricity to move it is produced. Still a bit of a mystery. Story by Steve Schaefer.
The fact that drivers can do most of their short daily drives on pure electric power is a plus, of course, but you need to put in the time to recharge it. As for the test drive, rural southern Sweden is picturesque, but the course itself was flat, unvaried, and sparsely populated except for our roving caravan of some 20 beige SUVs.
Volvo Ford-owned company exploring PHEVs "ReCharge" flex-fuel series 60-mile concept PHEV w/wheel motors. announced a partnership with utility Southern California Edison to test a fleet of rechargeable electric vehicles and said it expected to sell such plug-in hybrids within the next decade if battery technology keeps pace.
and European countries like Norway and Sweden, 1 the electric vehicle passenger market is expected to reach a valuation of $356 billion by 2023. While the most common place for recharging was at home (51%), many are also charging their vehicles while out and about. Driven largely in China, the U.S., ELECTRIFIED BENEFITS.
These amounts increase in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants Sweden : The “Ladda bilen” grant allows for the installation of AC charging for residents in apartment buildings and workplaces. Companies and public charging points above 50 kW receive 30 percent of the eligible costs.
