Electric vehicles have become very popular in India in the last one or two years. The sale of electric cars and electric scooters has gained momentum in the country. These are not only more friendly to the environment than vehicles running on diesel and petrol, but also prove to be better in terms of pocket. However, amidst new technology being developed everyday, efforts are on to build such a road, which will eliminate the need for these vehicles.
We are talking about electric road and electric highway, which are mentioned Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has done it many times. Today on Wednesday, he mentioned this again in a program and said that he has also held talks with some companies to build such roads in the country.
Sustainable development is the ultimate goal
Gadkari was addressing a program of the Confederation of Indian Industry ie CII. During this, he said that he is in talks with several companies for the development of an economically viable electric highway. He said that sustainable development is the ultimate goal and for this development of low-cost, pollution-free and indigenous technology is needed in the field of transport. He called upon the big companies to come forward to create a sustainable business model.
Gadkari has started the talk
Yesterday itself I made an economically viable electric power plant, said the Union Minister. Discussed with Tata and some other companies about building the highway. With the way our cities are developing, we will eventually need to amend our urban laws. In a city like Bengaluru, people take two hours to reach office.
This country has started work
Gadkari introduced the concept of development of electric highways some time back Was. Some other countries are also working on such roads. In some countries such roads have already been built. Electric road has been built in Stockholm, Sweden, a few years back. First it was experimentally prepared for a few kilometers on the outskirts of the road. Now Sweden is preparing to build such a highway about 3000 kilometers long.
How are electric roads
Talking about electric roads, it is not an alien concept. The world has seen its use in the form of a tram. Now efforts are on to give it such a form that it is suitable for urban transport and can easily travel long distances. Along with this, being economically and environmentally friendly is also a necessary condition. For this many companies have presented their concepts. Some models are based on overhead electric wire. To understand this with an example, you can look at train or metro. At the same time, there is also a concept that electricity should be delivered to the engine of the vehicles through the tyres.
