California sees first eHighway

Siemens and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) inaugurated a 1.6 km test track with an overhead catenary system made by Siemens. The eHighway stretches out in the Californian city of Carson, close to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Three trucks are currently testing the track, one is battery-electric, one a natural gas-augmented electric model and the last one a diesel-hybrid.
