Abstract
The invention relates to a current collector arrangement arranged to be mounted on a vehicle and to transmit electric power between a current conductor () located in the surface of a road and the vehicle, wherein the current collector arrangement comprises a current collector arm () that is arranged to be controllable for at least vertical displacement relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, in order to position the current collector arm relative to the current conductor (). The current collector arrangement comprises controllable actuators arranged to effect at least the vertical displacement the current collector arm (). A first actuator () is arranged to lower the current collector arm from a retracted position into a deployed position, and a second actuator () is arranged to lift the current collector arm from the deployed position into the retracted position. During a vertical displacement effected by one of the first or second actuators, the other actuator is arranged to act as a damper.
