Did anyone ever manage to get their Scalextric car round the track without skidding off and ramming into the skirting board? No? If you"re not old enough to even know what Scalextric is, it"s a slot-car racing toy that used metal contact points between the car and the track to power it round. Now the Swedish Transport Administration has created a new project to make those frayed and unreliable copper metal brushes a reality. As part of the country"s goals of achieving a completely fossil-fuel free vehicle fleet by 2030, the eRoadArlanda has been created to allow both commercial and passenger electric vehicles to recharge while driving.
