A new study from Georgia Tech’s College of Engineering looks closer at using overhead cable line (OCL) technology to power trucks, evaluating if they are wise environmental and economical choices. For some countries, the team suggests OCL technology is ideal. But for other areas, it shouldn’t be implemented until the region’s electric grid is cleaner.
