BEIT YANAI, Israel, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ElectReon (TASE: ELWS), developing and implementing Wireless Electric Road Systems that wirelessly charges commercial and passenger electric vehicles while driving, has completed the deployment of 1.65 km of a dynamic wireless charging system on a public road in Gotland, Sweden, which is the largest deployment of its kind in the world.

The fully electric long-haul truck was charged by the road while driving at various speeds of up to 60 km/h on a 200-meter electric road segment, with an average transfer rate of 70 kW from the road to the receivers and into the truck’s battery. The system reached stable operation with consistent results, and testing confirmed that snow and ice do not affect the wireless charging capabilities. The Company proved the robustness of its proprietary cloud-based software by remotely operating, monitoring, and testing the system from the Company’s headquarters in Israel.

In the coming months, following the successful testing on the 200-meter section and given additional approvals from relevant agencies, the Company expects to start operation of the entire road and simultaneously charge an electric bus on the same electric road. The wireless charging system will be further calibrated to enable the increase of power and a local truck operator will regularly operate the truck in order to conduct further tests.

The wireless charging of the electric truck on a public road is a significant milestone in the commercialization of the wireless electric road technology developed by ElectReon. This is also a significant milestone towards meeting the preliminary requirements for applying for the large-scale pilot of the construction of a wireless Electric Road planned by the Swedish Road Administration (Trafikverket) of approximately 30 kilometers designed for dynamic charging of electric trucks while driving.

In Tel Aviv, the Company completed the deployment of 700 meters of dynamic charging segments on a road in Ramat Aviv and a wireless charging station at the Tel-Aviv University train station bus terminal. This represents a significant achievement as the Company deployed the segments in a short time frame, minimizing interruption to the public and illustrating the suitability of its technology for commercial-scale deployment in public roads. The Company is currently waiting for the electric grid connection, expected in the coming weeks, in order to begin road-charging the electric bus, while conducting further tests.

Oren Ezer, CEO of ElectReon Wireless:

«Charging a long-haul truck while driving on an electric road that is open to the public is an exceptional technological achievement coming after years of intense development. The achievement brings us closer to our goal of revolutionizing the field of electric vehicle charging and we thank the strong support from Trafikverket that enabled this to take place in Sweden. Soon we expect to test our urban application when an electric bus will start testing in our pilot project in Tel Aviv.»

Truck driver Emelie Gardell from the truck operator Gotlands bilfrakt:

«I was very surprised at how peaceful and quiet it was to drive the electric truck while it was driving and charging from the road. It did not interfere with my driving experience at all and I am happy to know we are reducing transport emissions and proud to drive the future.»

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The highest scoring season in NFL history will come to a fitting conclusion with a matchup that features one of the highest over/unders in Super Bowl history, according to TheLines, which tracks odds in the U.S. regulated sports betting market.

In what will assuredly be the most legally wagered-on Super Bowl in history, the Kansas City Chiefs were 3-point favorites over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as of Monday morning, according to a consensus of the nation’s largest legal online sportsbooks — including DraftKings, FanDuel, PointsBet, PlaySugarHouse, BetMGM, Unibet, and William Hill. But after opening on Sunday night at 57.5 points, total points for the matchup have been bet down to 56. But with nearly two weeks to go before kickoff, bettors could still push the point total past the record of 57 points.

Twice in Super Bowl history, in 2017 and in 2010, has the over/under total closed at 57 points. In 2017, the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons combined to score 62. In 2010, the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts combined for 48 points. In all, oddsmakers have set the Super Bowl point total at 50 points or more 11 times. Of those 11, the under was the winning bet in eight of them.

«It’s tempting to look at a quarterback matchup of Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady and assume that we will see a lot of points, but history suggests that historically high point totals are tough to reach regardless of how good the offenses have been,» said Brett Collson, lead analyst for TheLines.com. «Early wagering seems to be acknowledging that fact. But with so much Super Bowl experience at quarterback, and following a record-setting regular season for offense, bettors could very well push that point total back to an all-time high by kickoff.»

Of course, proposition bets are typically the most anticipated. DraftKings has already posted odds on whether an offensive or defensive lineman will score a touchdown, and FanDuel is offering multiple coin toss-related bets.

But many of the most exotic proposition bets — such as the color of the Gatorade that is dumped on the winning team’s coach — have yet to be posted at most sportsbooks.

«Prop bets have long been a part of the Super Bowl’s betting landscape, but online and mobile sportsbooks have significantly boosted the popularity of in-game and prop betting,» Collson said. «Online and mobile betting have allowed for a creativity that simply wasn’t possible when betting was limited to legal retail sportsbooks.»

The consensus point spread for Super Bowl LV, as of Monday, Jan. 25:

• Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Kansas City Chiefs (-3); over/under 56
• Money line: Kansas City (-165), Tampa Bay (+140)

BOGOTA, Colombia, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ProColombia, the government entity in charge of promoting international tourism, foreign direct investment, non-mining energy exports and the country brand, is encouraging eco-conscious travelers to consider Colombia as their next international destination when planning 2021 vacations. To inspire travelers and educate them on the country’s efforts, Colombia has released a new illustrative nature guide that features easy-to-understand information of its responsible and sustainable practices.

Every year, people leave unused time-off on the table, and with growing interest in sustainable travel, Colombia is perfect for nature lovers planning future vacations. The guide includes information about the country’s rich biodiversity and nature offerings, as well as 50 podcasts and factsheets available in Spanish and soon, English. It’s free of charge and available here.

«The launch of this guide represents a step in the right direction for the development of sustainable nature and adventure tourism,» said Flavia Santoro, president of ProColombia. According to the Vice Minister of Tourism, Julián Guerrero Orozco, «the guide will surely become a handy tool for tourist guides in helping them understand the country’s natural heritage. At the same time, it will be incredibly useful for curious travelers who have an interest in Colombian nature. The idea is for all Colombians and foreigners to have access to it, which will also help us take care of our natural wealth. People tend to protect those areas they know and love, and this document is a contribution to the knowledge of our country.»

The project is supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), «Riqueza Natural» Program, the Humboldt Institute, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and Punto Aparte Editors.

Colombia is poised to be a top destination this year, making top travel lists such as the New York Times’ «52 Places to Love in 2021.» Tourism is also rapidly rebounding. Since September, 533 international weekly air frequencies from 20 countries have already been reactivated.

As eco-conscious travelers continue seeking socially-distanced outdoor experiences, Colombia provides a plethora of natural offerings. It’s the second most biodiverse country in the world, and #1 in bird species. It also has 27 sustainable tourist destinations certified by the Colombian Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Tourism, and recently became a founding member of The Future of Tourism Coalition.
