The Idea

A disruptive and innovative project

The system as a whole creates a sustainable motorway environment, enhancing the user experience whilst reducing disruption to local communities and providing electricity for e-mobility

Innovation #1

R&D and technical research: achieving a high level of innovation by using only tried-and-tested technologies, thereby ensuring the safety and durability of the structure, whilst avoiding costly and time-consuming teething problems.

Innovation #2

Building over motorways without disrupting traffic and without compromising user safety, by adapting existing, tried-and-tested construction techniques

Innovation #3

Integrating infrastructure into the landscape: transforming the motorway’s core transport function into a multifunctional tool, thereby creating additional benefits without causing further negative impacts

Innovation #4

A combined power plant offering the perfect balance between cost and performance: it is the combination of high-performance solar cells with EnergyPier’s AnemoGen™ air turbines that will deliver the best value per kWh.

Innovation #5

Recovery of natural ambient heat and heat generated by photovoltaic panels, which can either be used to meet industrial or commercial heating requirements or converted into additional electricity, with efficiency levels to be determined according to local conditions.

Innovation #6

To both balance out production and ensure a 24-hour energy supply, batteries specifically designed for motorway conditions are incorporated into the solution, with a ratio of between 1 MWh and 2 MWh per MWp installed.
