Today the first physical meeting was held within the Sub-group on HDVs within the European Commisions Sustainable Transport Forum. I am leading the task force on Electric Roads with the goal of providing the European Commision inputs to the upcoming revision of AFIR. Please feel free to contact me with your inputs. #SustainableTransports

Can wireless EV charging withstand the harsh Nordic winter? As the #Trondheim project in #Norway moves forward, we wanted to share a quick glimpse of its progress. This December, Electreon’s wireless #EV charging technology began winter testing in Norway, led by Pål Preede Revheim from AtB AS, Trøndelag fylkeskommune, and supported by our own Sven Nilsson, Project leader for the #Nordic. The system, installed on a public road, enables both in-motion and stationary wireless charging—a perfect fit for electric Bus Rapid Transit (#BRT) systems. Since early December, Vy drivers have been running daily trips to #Sandmoen, gaining operational experience and collecting valuable data. Two more buses will join regular service in the new year as the winter test continues.

Another insightful study, recently published by Jakob Rogstadius from RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, examines the utilization and economic-environmental impacts of future Electric Road Systems (#ERS) for heavy trucks in #Sweden. ERS technology delivers electric power to moving vehicles through innovative methods like #dynamic #wireless power transfer, enabling continuous charging, reducing reliance on large onboard energy storage, and minimizing vehicle downtime. Electreon, in collaboration with our partners, is already driving ERS adoption globally, supporting the transition to sustainable transportation. Together, we are building a cleaner, more efficient future for mobility. For the full article, click here --> https://lnkd.in/dRcGnK3C

🌍 Happy World Sustainable Transport Day At Electreon, we’re not just imagining a future of clean and efficient transportation—we’re building it. As pioneers in wireless EV charging, we are collaborating with the #EV ecosystem to transform roads into charging assets—empowering cities to cut emissions, elevate public transportation, and fuel innovation. This World Sustainable Transport Day, we celebrate the incredible progress made toward creating a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future for everyone. Here’s how we’re making an impact: 🔹 Dynamic Charging: Keeping EVs powered while they’re on the move—no stops, no downtime. 🔹 Revolutionizing Public Transit: Partnering with cities to electrify buses and reduce air pollution. 🔹 Greener Highways: Collaborating globally to electrify roadways and connect communities sustainably. Let’s drive change—one road at a time. #SustainableTransport #Electreon #WorldSustainableTransportDay #Innovation #CleanEnergy #EVCharging

Electreon powers California's first wireless charging roadway through $20M UCLA transit grant Another great partnership has been signed, and we are excited to share that, together with UCLA and CALSTART, we’re bringing #California’s first #wireless #charging #roadway to life! Setting the stage for UCLA's #BruinBus fleet to go 100% electric, with wireless charging technology at the forefront. By 2028, this project will expand UCLA’s all-electric transit fleet and introduce Electreon’s static and dynamic EV charging systems along key transit routes, allowing electric buses to charge anywhere and anytime —delivering sustainable, uninterrupted transit while reducing emissions and the need for larger vehicle batteries. As we look toward the 2028 #Olympic and #Paralympic Games, this initiative is setting a new standard for green transportation in California, providing a model for cities everywhere. Thank you to California State Transportation Agency for supporting this transformative project and to our own Stefan Tongur, PhD for driving Electreon’s vision forward.

Empowering Electric Deliveries: Electreon partners with the State of Michigan and Xos to wirelessly charge UPS trucks in Detroit Today, we're excited to announce that the nation’s first public wireless charging road in #Michigan is expanding its reach through new partnerships. This expansion brings wireless charging technology to commercial e-trucks in #Detroit, establishing the world’s first wireless charging project for last-mile delivery at the depot! This project will power UPS delivery vehicles and showcase a unique approach to commercial EV charging, featuring Electreon’s wireless charging solution. Designed to streamline charging with: 🔹 Cable-free setup 🔹 Driver-friendly interface 🔹 Optimized space usage for constrained depots This solution addresses key barriers in the transition to electric fleets—minimizing the need for costly grid upgrades and larger batteries. With the invaluable support of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (OFME), Michigan Department of Transportation, Xos Trucks, UPS, Michigan Central, the Michigan Mobility Funding Platform (MMFP), NextEnergy, Joyride Group , and our own Stefan Tongur, PhD, we’re proud to advance sustainable, next-generation mobility solutions that enhance efficiency and lower the total cost of ownership for electrified fleets.

It’s always nice to receive confirmation of what we already knew As part of the "Charge as You Drive" project with our partners at VINCI in #France, the #LAMES Laboratory at Université Gustave Eiffel tested Electreon’s wireless charging technology for pavement durability. This is an important step in France’s mission to expand Electric Road Systems (#ERS) nationwide. The results are promising. As Pierre Hornych, Director of LAMES, stated: "Results from our Carousel simulation confirm that Electreon’s wireless coils embedded beneath a pavement structure similar to the A10 highway have no adverse effects on road durability." 📽️ Watch the 1 minute video to see how it was done. Special thanks to Pierre Hornych, Gustavo Otto and Mai Lan NGUYEN from the Laboratoire Auscultation, Modélisation, Expérimentation des Infrastructures de Transport (#LAMES) at Université Gustave Eiffel and Pierre Delaigue from VINCI Autoroutes for this valuable work. #ElectricRoadSystems #WirelessCharging #SustainableTransportation #SmartMobility

We’re happy to share that expert researchers, Raimonds Aronietis and Thierry Vanelslander from the Department of Transport and Regional Economics TPR the University of Antwerp shared their important findings recently regarding the #positiveeconomics of #ElectricRoadSytems(ERS). The research confirms what we’ve already known for a while. Their crucial findings: 🔹 ERS is the most cost-effective of all vehicle power options (including diesel) 🔹 Investing in ERS consistently provides strong ROI; surpassing initial infrastructure investment by billions of Euros/Dollars. 🔹 Without ERS it is not possible to decarbonize the transport sector, and achieve EV widespread adoption.
