Imagine a road that charges a truck while it's driving, like a wireless phone charger but for giant vehicles. Instead of stopping for hours to plug in, the vehicles get power from rails built into the ground. This means they can use much smaller, cheaper batteries because they never have to worry about running out of juice during their shift.
Heavy electric vehicles in ports face operational downtime due to long charging times and insufficient grid capacity. This forces operators to use larger, more expensive batteries or maintain larger fleets to keep operations running.
A dual charging system consisting of certified static high-power charging stations and dynamic conductive rails for charging vehicles while they move.
If you are a Port Authority dealing with high CO2 emissions from diesel machinery—this project developed a dynamic conductive rail system that charges vehicles in motion. This eliminates downtime for charging and reduces the need for extra vehicles to compensate for charging stops.
If you are an EV manufacturer dealing with high battery costs and weight—this project developed an on-the-go charging system that allows for much smaller batteries. This reduces the capital expenditure for the vehicle and lowers the overall cost for the end customer.
If you are a grid operator dealing with massive electricity demand peaks from stationary chargers—this project developed a dual static and dynamic charging solution. This approach flattens the electricity demand curve and optimizes the use of available grid capacity.
By enabling the use of much smaller batteries, the system allows OEMs to reduce vehicle costs and lower capital expenditure for fleet operators.
Yes, the project has moved from prototypes to fully industrialized solutions, with static charging systems already delivered to customers in Oslo and Malta.
Based on available project data, the system has been developed and certified as a commercial product, though specific licensing terms are not detailed.
The system flattens peaks in electricity demand and provides a dual solution of static and dynamic charging to better manage grid capacity.
The project period runs from 2023-08-01 to 2025-07-31, with commercial products already launched and delivered during this window.
The project is led by a single Swedish SME, Elonroad AB, which acted as the sole partner. This 100% industry-led structure indicates a highly focused commercial drive, utilizing EIC Accelerator funding to bridge the gap between prototype and industrial scale-up without the overhead of academic partners.
