The latest research into electric vehicles suggests that range extensions of 10% or even more can be achieved through the utilisation of smart traffic technologies. By combining information gleaned from real-time traffic information, road type and gradient and also vehicle payload, researchers at the University of California, Riverside believe they can optimise route and performance to extend the range of electric vehicles.
A Wirtgen soil stabilisation machine has been treating a 100,000m2 site in Staffordshire for an advanced logistics centre, a project including access roads and parking areas. The WR2500S recycler is being used to prepare the way for the vast Blue Planet complex in Chatterley Valley, Newcastle-under-Lyme.
