I could see this being used for a lot of future garbage trucks here in denmark, they only run 6-10 hours a day and sit unused the rest of the day.
the unloading might be the only reason that doesn't happen, since there's not places to unload in every city.
[QUOTE=Skusty;50785740]Also, Scania has a truck running on electric wires, like trains and trolleys do, in Sweden, I think this will be the more common solution to longer hauls, or you drive by the electric highway, then exit it to make a stop to deliver some goods and switch to a combustion engine or run on batteries, and then back to the electric highway to recharge.

I was working for Daimler but got caught in the waves of layoffs they did earlier this year.

[QUOTE=Skusty;50788553]There are [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolleybus]trolleybusses[/url] in a lot of european cities that work similair to this, also you got to start somewhere to try new ideas.[/QUOTE]
Those are still effectively fixed route vehicles with relatively short routes in areas that already have the majority of the necessary infrastructure to support the systems. The connection system is different because they are fixed route as well.
It's not the same at all.
