Strategic Modernization of the Ashgabat — Dashoguz Highway and Infrastructure
21 Feb. 11:56A major infrastructure project is set to transform the connectivity between the capital city and the Dashoguz province through the comprehensive reconstruction of the existing highway and the construction of a high-tech bridge. During the latest cabinet session, plans were revealed to launch an international tender aimed at selecting top-tier partners for this large-scale transport development. The initiative is a cornerstone of the nation's policy to upgrade its logistics network and foster international cooperation in the field of transit shipping.
Recognizing the highway as a vital economic artery, the Head of State authorized the proposal to revamp the road’s technical parameters. The project is expected to enhance the safety and efficiency of passenger and freight transportation, facilitating smoother movement across the country's central and northern territories. The addition of a new bridge along the route is designed to handle increased traffic loads and meet modern engineering standards.
By revitalizing this key transport link, Turkmenistan aims to bolster its position within international transit corridors and provide a world-class driving experience for both domestic and international logistics providers. The modernization effort reflects a long-term commitment to sustainable infrastructure growth and regional economic integration.

On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
