The 2km stretch outside Sweden’s Arlanda Airport was inaugurated at a ceremony attended by Sweden’s infrastructure minister, Tomas Eneroth and Lena Erixon, Director General of the Swedish Transport Administration.
An electric truck working for the logistics company PostNord will over the next 12 months use the road to stay charged as it shuttles deliveries between Arlanda Airport and its distribution centre 12km away. The technology has been developed by Gunnar Asplund, who set up his company Elways in 2009 after a long career with the Swedish engineering company ABB.
