Galliford Try<\/a> has secured funding from the Department of Transport<\/a> for research into the electrification of the road network<\/h2>\n

The research is part of a \u00a320m programme that will play a significant role in the government\u2019s transport decarbonisation<\/a> plan that includes a commitment to end the sale of fossil-fuel goods vehicles by 2040.<\/p>\n

Working in collaboration with UK partners Honda R&D Europe (UK), TRL and Miralis, alongside Honda R&D from Japan, the \u00a31.1m ElectroRoad project<\/a>, let via the \u00a320m Zero Emission Road Freight funding competition managed by Innovate UK<\/a>, will complete a comprehensive study into an innovative dynamic charging system to support the decarbonisation of the road network.<\/p>\n

The technology is designed to charge electric vehicles<\/a> on the move to help them travel long distances without needing to recharge their batteries.<\/p>\n

The ElectroRoad project will complete an assessment of the UK Strategic Road Network<\/a> to consider how best to deploy Honda\u2019s side conductive power technology in the UK and to identify suitable locations for future field trials.<\/p>\n

Supporting clients and communities<\/h3>\n

David Lowery, Galliford Try\u2019s managing director of Highways, said: \u201cAs an organisation we are not only committed to achieving net zero carbon in our own operations by 2030 but also supporting our clients and the communities we serve to achieve their own sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognise the significant challenges around decarbonisation of road freight vehicles and we are delighted to be working in collaboration with our partners and stakeholders to lead positive lasting change in our industry, playing a significant part in the rollout of zero emission technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n
