Framtidens vägtransporter måste gradvis flyttas över till förnyelsebara energislag, varav de flesta levereras som elektricitet. Batterifordon räcker INTE för att åstadkomma denna övergång, därtill är både laddeffekter för låga och batterivikter för höga. I stället krävs en kontinuerlig tillförsel av elenergi till fordon i rörelse på väg. Detta kan göras magnetiskt, eller elektriskt och det pågår en intensiv utveckling av

SARTRE is a FP7 European project that performs transportation research, namely road train on public roads (also called platooning). A road train, according to SARTRE, is a collection of vehicles led by a manually forward heavy lead vehicle, and where several following vehicles (truck and passenger cars) follow the leader automatically, both laterally and longitudinally. The vehicles communicate wirelessly to

Crash compatibility is a challenge for vehicle designers.
