The agency has already commissioned a feasibility study, to assess how the strategic road network could respond to this challenge. The study will look into how an inductive power system could operate on the strategic road network. TRL will assist in a feasibility study which will investigate potential solutions, with possible trials after the study has concluded.

To mark the start of the engagement for the feasibility study, a workshop is being held on Friday 28 November at the offices of the SMMT, 71 Great Peter Street, London SW1P 2BN from 10am until 12 noon.

The objective of the workshop is to provide an overview of the project (to be presented by research leaders TRL) and to gather key questions and issues which stakeholders believe need to be addressed as part of the investigation.

The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, the SMMT and Cenex are supporting the Highway Agency in this project by facilitating engagement with a wide range of stakeholders.
