Siemens has unveiled it's "ehighway" concept, foreseeing motorways equipped with overhead to enable trolleylorries to operate in 100% zero emmission mode, because of future oil depletion and climate change. Extensive testing with two vehicles has been carried out in Germany and pilot projects are being planned for Los Angeles and Long Beach. Siemens  The ehighway concept is claimed to easily integrate into existing highways and infrastructures. The trucks are designed to use both electricity and autonomous power and will automatically switch to electric mode when they detect and attach to the overhead lines. Siemens  Parma has recieved the first of it's 'ebus' trolleybuses.
