WHY ELECTRIC ROADTRAINS ?
Unbeatable Value
Roadtrains will allow one inner lane to carry 4-7X lanes of traffic, reducing congestion and the cost of pavement maintenance.
Electrified inner lanes serve as substitutes for public charging stations, eliminating the need to stop and charge.
Much lighter all-electric cars can go between and within metro areas with inexpensive batteries one-fifth the size. This reduces their weight and, consequently, rolling resistance and wear on rubber tires.
A single steel rail allows roadtrain cars to retract the front tires and settle down onto a steel wheel with one-tenth as much rolling resistance and a strikingly smooth, quiet ride.
With aerodynamically optimized cars, MPG and MPGe will triple.
Reduced car purchase and operating costs will pay for tolls to upgrade the highways.
