BMWK Projekt E|M POWER:

In E|MPOWER (Effiziente Modularisierung induktiver Leistungsübertrager im Schwerlastverkehrt), automated production and deployment techniques for an Electric Road System (ERS) are investigated. Besides CP4GE, the consortium consists of the partners ELSYS Institute (TH Nürnberg), VIA IMC, Electreon, Risomat and the consortium leader Institute FAPS (FAU).

The project includes integrating Electreons wireless ERS technology on a 1-km section of the Autobahn in Northern Bavaria. This ERS is an inductive charging technology that is directly integrated into the roadway enabling the contactless transfer of energy to driving and stationary vehicles.

Together with the Institute ELSYS, the research group investigates a loss modell for the ERS. The joint project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, funding code 01MV22020A as part of the „Elektro-Mobil“ program and supported by the German Autobahn GmbH.
