Sweden is trialing electrified roads in the eRoadArlanda project. It could pave the way for a future of fossil-free roads across the world. The state-funded scheme is being trialed on a 1.25-mile road near Stockholm. It uses an electric rail embedded within the tarmac on roads to power and recharge vehicles during their journey. It works in a similar way to trams, which are powered by an overhead line, but instead via conductive feeds from embedded in the road below.
