Schleswig-Holstein is home to the test track for a high-profile trial to reduce pollutant emissions from road traffic: from June 2019, trucks are to run on electric drives on a four-kilometer stretch of the Autobahn 1 between Reinfeld and the Lübeck interchange. They are supplied by an overhead line, comparable to the way streetcars work.

The knowledge report from the series “How does it work?” accompanies the construction work of the power line, talks to the residents along the test route, accompanies the scientific evaluation by the Kiel University of Applied Sciences and collects empirical values from the forwarding company that provides the electric Brummis.
