Important Changes to CSCS Card Scheme
A number of major milestones had to be passed before electric vehicles reached their current stage of development, and this was only achieved by actively and enthusiastically building on the preceding developments. The basis for the development of the electric vehicle goes back as far as 1821, when Michael Faraday worked on electromagnetism. It was only a few years later that Thomas Davenport developed the first electrically powered rail vehicle. Work continued on this invention until finally, in 1851, the first large electrically-powered rail vehicle was put into operation and attained a speed of 31 kph. But the real story of the electric automobile actually began with the invention of the world’s first electric vehicle in 1881. The electrically powered three-wheeler, known as the “Trouvé Tricycle”, reached 12 kph. Some 20 years later and backed by much greater expertise, the first electric road vehicle, a racing car known as “La Jamais Contente”, was shown and achieved speeds of over 100 kph.
The heyday of electromobility was between 1896 and 1912. There were 565 different brands of electric cars worldwide and in the United States alone, a total of 34,000 electric vehicles were registered.
Electromobility continued to assert itself for almost a hundred years and only came to an end in 1911. It did not return for another 80 years. Developments in this industry were driven by the gradual introduction of emission-free vehicles. Since 2003 in particular, developments have continued at a great pace. First of all, continuous improvement and innovation led to the creation of hybrid vehicles. But these were then replaced by electric vehicles, an invention which will accompany mankind for a long time to come. After all, many companies in the automotive industry are following the trend toward consciously sustainable concepts and developments.
TENESO Austria has now immersed itself in the electromobility revolution because in the short period of three days, three Terra 51 charging stations were installed in Vorarlberg. TENESO Austria was given the job of picking up the units from the factory in Hungary, dispatching them as part of a regular transport with parent company Gebrüder Weiss as far as Vorarlberg and then arranging for the last leg of the journey to the point of use with a mobile crane. As part of the service, the TENESO Austria tectraxx delivery team also helped out with the installation work, including connecting the units up to the electricity supply.
