情態副詞

electric trucks are slowly starting to become a thing.

電動卡車正慢慢開始成為一種事物。

But the trouble is you need a massive battery in each truck,

但問題是你需要在每輛卡車上安裝一個巨大的電池。

plus the infrastructure to charge them all.

再加上為它們全部充電的基礎設施。

It'd be great if you could somehow charge up electric trucks

如果你能以某種方式為電動卡車充電，那就太好了。

Well, the world already has a proven, tested solution

好吧，世界上已經有了一個被證實的、經過測試的解決方案

for sending power to massive, fast-moving vehicles.

用於向大規模、快速移動的車輛輸送動力。

Electric trains have pulled power from overhead wires

電動火車已從架空線上拉出電源

So why not put those wires over the first lane of a highway

那麼為什麼不把這些電線放在高速公路的第一條車道上呢？

and let trucks connect to it while they're on the move?

並讓卡車在行駛過程中連接到它？

- 所以它現在已經運行了21個月了

would be to equip 1/3 of the German highway network

2/3 of the greenhouse gas emissions by heavy trucks.

2/3的溫室氣體由重型卡車排放。

But for sure, there are pros and cons in the real world,

但可以肯定的是，在現實世界中是有利有弊的。

before we are going into the future with such a system.

在我們帶著這樣一個系統進入未來之前。

There were a lot of safety concerns in the beginning,

and the electromagnetic fields are lower than on a tram,

You just set the indicator or leave the lane

and the pantograph will automatically drop down immediately

a battery or the combustion engine will take over,

and you will have the full power without interruption.

而你將擁有不間斷的全部動力。

- One of the things that's really obvious sitting here

- 坐在這裡，有一件事真的很明顯

比如，我們現在正在運行的電網電源

There are two main uses for big trucks like this.

像這樣的大卡車有兩個主要用途。

Most of that is going to be away from the trunk road network,

其中大部分將遠離主幹道網絡。

是以，eHighway在這方面是行不通的。

but those trucks tend to take shorter journeys anyway,

但無論如何，這些卡車往往採取較短的行程。

是以，這些人可以在車廠充電。

is taking containers from ports to warehouses,

Almost all of that traffic goes along big trunk roads like this,

幾乎所有的交通都是沿著像這樣的大幹線進行的。

and that could all be converted to run straight from the grid

而這一切都可以被轉換為直接從電網中運行。

with batteries taking a couple of miles at each end.

and suddenly you're replacing a lot of diesel.

突然間，你要替換大量的機油。

bringing the electrons to the vehicle in a cable,

rather than trying to carry them in a box in a battery.

而不是試圖把它們裝在電池的盒子裡。

It's possible to set an electricity price

sufficiently cheap for the truck operator

that the lower costs will pay for the additional costs of the lorry

較低的成本將支付貨車的額外費用。

in about a year and a half, something like that.

在大約一年半的時間裡，類似這樣的事情。

some of the money that comes back from electricity sales

an investment that's fundable by private finance.

一項可由私人資金資助的投資。

And we think there is enough money left on top of that

而且我們認為在此基礎上還有足夠的錢。

to pay a tax to the government to replace fuel tax.

向政府繳納稅款以取代燃油稅。

Where you've got real difficulties is some of these journeys

你有真正困難的地方是其中一些旅程

And there's a strong case for saying, look,

而且有一個強有力的理由說，看。

in some of those journeys, let's have a hybrid vehicle.

在其中一些旅程中，讓我們擁有一輛混合動力車。

But the majority of the system works very well

So I think that's an attractive thing to do if you can.

所以我認為，如果你能做到，這是一件有吸引力的事情。

- We've had more than a century to develop delivery infrastructure

- 我們已經有超過一個世紀的時間來發展交付基礎設施

that's based around combusting fossil fuels,

這是以燃燒化石燃料為基礎的。

and that's going to end in the next couple of decades.

the sale of new petrol and diesel trucks by 2040,

到2040年，新的汽油和機油卡車的銷售。

and building those wires above enough roads

並將這些電線建在足夠的道路之上

如果這就是所選擇的解決方案。

So right now we know the basic technology does work.

是以，現在我們知道基本的技術確實可行。

but a lot of things that technically work can't be built economically.

但很多在技術上可行的東西在經濟上卻無法建造。

then the UK has somewhere around three to five years

那麼英國大約有三到五年的時間
