An overhead electric trolley system for heavy-duty trucks will be installed by Siemens near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California.
The engineering firm said it was selected by the South Coast Air Quality Management District to install the two-way, 1-mile demonstration “eHighway” system.

Mack Trucks is developing a demonstration vehicle for the project, and Siemens is supplying the technology that allows trucks to connect and disconnect from the catenary system at any speed.

The eHighway pilot program has been running in Lübeck, Germany now for almost two years.

The 2016 tests in Sweden concluded in 2018. Ever since then politicians have been arguing about it.
