Here’s What Nitin Gadkari Says About E-Highway
While referring to the new project, Gadkari said that it will not only save travel time but also reduce the fuel cost by 30 percent bus. He said “When we said that the journey from Delhi to Meerut would be completed in 45 minutes, journalists laughed. Today, people tell me that they come from Meerut to Delhi to eat ice cream. I want to bring the people of Jaipur to eat Delhi’s ice cream and the people of Delhi to eat Jaipur’s Kachori.”
In addition, he said, “This has become possible as the country’s people gave full majority to the Bharatiya Janata Party.”
What is an electric cable highway?
Electric Cable highways are the smart way to make the roads energy-efficient. It helps the moving vehicles to provide electric energy, using overhead power lines.
The move will benefit electric vehicle users, providing the electric energy to the battery while running on the e-highways. It will increase the range and reduce the range anxiety.
First Electric Highway in Germany
Meanwhile, the technology was introduced in Germany back in 2019. The country already has electric highways for vehicles. It provides energy to the hybrid trucks while on run.
