A pioneering road (R5G©)

 

Power Road® clears the ice on rue Martial Bergeal and keeps the road’s users safe.

And Power Road® provides a real-life, open-air testing ground for students at nearby public-works schools

A few key figures

 

Installation:

  • Power Road® area: 660 sq. metres (a 120-metre stretch of road)
  • Power: 200 kW from the low-carbon district heating network (which burns biomass and waste)
     
     

What R5G© fifth-generation roads will look like

 

“THE GOAL IS MORE POSITIVE-ENERGY ROADS”

By Philippe Tamagny, Deputy Department Director, Gustave Eiffel university (formerly Ifsttar)

 

“Égletons is home to several university departments and schools that specialise in public works. Adding Power Road® to a road through the town is keeping people safe – and provides a great showcase for it. We expect this road to become an open-air testing ground for the town’s 2,500 public-works students.”

Charles Ferré, Mayor of Égletons
