It's so ridiculous. Like the power lines don't require drilling for natural resources to keep them running.

@@XInfantrymanits more about the lifespan, like over the years the truck using electricity would save up tons of gas, meanwhile the gas used for the structure is only used once until the structure breaks down, who knows they used diesel/gasoline powered tools&vehicles to build it
That was a test track. It is currently being dismantled because it is not feasible and too expensive.
Test track truck 😮
Ah thanks. I was thinking that 6 miles isn't that much
@@MAGA_Extremist 10km = 6mi.

Your salary probably a fck ton huh? Good on ya.

"Eco-friendly" bc these power lines are directly connected to trees.
That's a really stupid argument. Even if both are using fossil fuels, an electric car + Big (and efficient) power plant has about 3 times the efficiency. And add to that how a lot of the grid power can come from renewables.
How does the X3 come from:
Electric cars are about 4 times more power efficient when in traffic and about 1.1 when not in traffic. With average traffic this comes out to about 1.8
Big power plants are about 1.5 times more efficient than cars even when burning the same fuel. But more often than not they will be burning something like natural gas, which has way lower emmisions.
If we assume the same type of fuel or coal it's 1.8*1.5 = 2.7
If we assume natural gas which has about 50% less emissions, it's 1.8*2.25= 4.05
As a result it's VERY eco friendly. Now this system in Germany sucks because it's not scalable at all, but that's not an argument against it being not eco friendly. And that's not even considering the possibility of power coming from solar, wind, nuclear... You get it now right?
@@lockkeylive3809ok... and what does it take for the battery?
@@lockkeylive3809very nice answer. But do you know that if you can use this kind of lorry, you must Burn a lot od ciała or gas? Because renewable energy like panels or wind canto get as much energy as standard energy process. And because od that its on the same level as normal fuel track. BUT COMMON PEOPLE MUST KNOW ITS MORE ECO! because Europe is going to be green f.cking island. Its sick. Take care friend.😉
@@lockkeylive3809tell that to the toxic batteries that are filling up landfills 🗣

@@michalmoskwiak8874 I struggle to believe you read past the first sentence. I analysed how even by burning coal and gas it still is 3-4 times more efficient than combustion engines.
Also you discounted nuclear like most people do, despite it being safer than any fossil fuels (500k deaths a year are estimated to be a direct result of fossil power plants. Possibly more indirectly. While nuclear doesn't do that much damage even In case of, with today's technology, astronomically unlikely accidents)
I heard these got disassembled already
Really? I don't know much about that, but it looks like it is a good idea to have those wires and stuff 😅
I'm really wondering why it didn't work as planned
Is just troll truck or troll bus.. Just like in Soviet union
Some didnt, i Saw them some days ago
They Are there But Never Seen them being used . I Drive the highway 5 times a Week 😅
Why because of how inefficient they are?
I'm an American truck driver...and Europe can keep it...got it..
Don’t you electronic log books now. If you run out of time the truck just automatically stops no matter where you are.
Yer you are probably right, it doesn't work very well on a 120V system - it would take 15.7 years to recharge one truck.
JUST BUILD A TRAIN AHHHHH
why are other countries falling for the US' system
6 miles? There is Germany so is km..
So 10km. Failed experiment; too costly to implement.
@@steadholderharrington9035Nope! To the contrary. The test line was enlarged just last year by 7km.
@@mightypiratethreepwood And its been around for how long now? And you'll get just how much of a battery charge off of 17kms of power line when you'll only be on it for roughly 9 minutes at most? Even with a lightening fast charger, you'll only recharge at most 20% to 25% of your battery total if you are incredibly fortunate at most; 3% to 6% with a slower charging system.
Because it is only a test track so far, but as I see your intelligence was not enough to check
@@steadholderharrington9035It is about testing the efficiency and then extending the powerlines...How can you not understand that, of course an electric truck is not charged within 9km, you don't need an invoice for that..
Just wait till you get a trucker with a tall load. Fireworks lol
That's why they don't hire any idiot who can hold the steering wheel there.
@@goatman86No, they just perpetual genocides, ethnic cleansings, and war mongering. No wonder American Democrats keep applauding German Socialists.

It's also prone to more electric fires now too. So there's that
Yes. It works for trams because they are always connected. Having it connect and disconnect like that seems kinda sketch.
The project literally was discontinued yesterday

It was probably just a fact finding test of the system , only had 6 miles
Only the Track in the North on Autobahn A1.
The Track near Frankfurt A5 is still in use with exactly 3 >>>three

The same happened to the track near Rastatt. I really want to know who came up with that idea though so that I could shout at them for wasting so much money. Imo it's a good example of verschlimmbessern, because trucks can never be as efficient as trains even when they are electric

I live right next to a test line for this and I've never seen a single truck driving with it.
"eco-friendly"
you forget how much they burn to make electricity
Agree. How is this eco-friendly? There are so many flaws with this. Solar power is the way for now. If the Sun stops transferring energy we will all die very quickly.
That's right, no transport is eco-friendly until we get to 100% renewable. But EVs causes less polution even if all the electricity is generated by coal plants.
@@XOPOIIIOIC engines last longer and are more eco friendly . Electric motors are an ecological nightmare. Just sourcing the lithium ruins rainforests
Yeah, I was questioning what they're using to actually make that electricity. The cleanest energy source is probably nuclear and that's because, while it does still produce waste, it produces a ton of power.
@@VGamingJunkieVT Nuclear is not cleaner than solar or wind, but it's much more accessable.
A trolleybus (also known as trolley bus, trolley coach, trackless trolley, trackless tram - in the 1910s and 1920s- or trolley is an electric bus that draws power from dual overhead wires (generally suspended from roadside posts) using spring-loaded trolley poles. Two wires, and two trolley poles, are required to complete the electrical circuit.
A trolibuszok áramszedőivel működhetne is a rendszer, de ez a videó csak egy vicc.
Trolleybus at Arnhem 😁
Still in every post- sovietunion country normally...
Trolley buses need to come to a stop at a specific location to raise their poles while this truck uses a pantograph like a train which can be raised and lowered while driving
Trolley buses can only go where there are overhead lines.
This is not true of this system.

6 miles isn't enough to charge 6%
Probably 6 billion euros also
IIs just a boost
Here in Germany we are not able to afford any more because the government thinks its a great idea to donate millions and millions for bicycle roads in Peru or gender neutral work in India. Welcome to Germany
probably just to test the theory or so
Reinventing the same "old wheel". LOL 😂
Yeah in Australia we had electric busses that ran on the lines like a tram so no batteries
If only they had they might have found it much more economical because the rolling resistance was lower
from blitzkrieg to blitz truck, truly remarkable
bruh
Nothing makes this eco friendly, but it seems Hella effective and efficient
It’s not efficient. Cars will get in the way of truckers so they will make that lane only for trucks with this system. But then they will relize that the wheels of the trucks deteriorate super fast so let’s change them to metal. Not only that the road also needs ton of maintenance so let’s just change it to metal too. Congrats you discovered trains all over again🎉
We got trains already 🚂
Yes, and we have had freight trains. For freight trains would relieve the highways of trucks.
Literally how uneducated can you be SMH ??? DO trains go to your grocery store????
@@RayPointerChannelneither of you have a flipping clue
That's not the point those are Hybrid trucks which use Combustion and Electric engine the point of the power line is so that the trucks can charge up without needing to stop

And this is where you are wrong. We know it does but it’s the idea of NOT putting the fumes of burning diesel fuels! Not hard to understand unless you are a Republican.
Logic falls flat before identity politics.
It doesn’t matter where the fumes come out from, they are fumes. Diesel fumes are not more harmful than smoke from coal or CH4.
Change the source of how electricity is being generated then EVs make sense. Else it’s just a fad.
