Electreon Wireless has closed the acquisition of InductEV, a US-based provider of stationary wireless charging for heavy-duty transit and freight vehicles.
Integrating InductEV’s assets and intellectual property enables Electreon to offer a comprehensive wireless EV charging portfolio spanning passenger vehicles, light delivery vans and heavy-duty Class 8 trucks.
The combined company will offer operators a suite of charging solutions for different charging use cases including in-road dynamic charging while driving, top-up charging during planned stops along routes, and overnight charging in depots and parking facilities.
A hands-free charger provides increased safety for drivers in all weather conditions, eliminating the need to handle cables and connectors. Proper route design can help to reduce range anxiety even with smaller and less expensive batteries, which increase payload capacity and reduce vehicle purchase prices.
The platform supports diverse fleets from transit buses to freight trucks, and uses specialized in-ground technology for every use case. Integrated Flow software optimizes energy delivery to avoid peak demand charges and costly utility upgrades.
The integrated product suite includes LINE, a dynamic solution that charges vehicles at high speeds on highways and urban corridors and DASH, a semi-dynamic option that provides high-power burst charging at stop-and-go locations like taxi queues, bus stops and traffic lights. For stationary charging, DOT delivers automatic, hands-free charging for parked vehicles in depots and logistics hubs, while Ultra DOT supports specialized high-power, hands-free charging for heavy-duty transit and freight, powered by InductEV technology.
The combination of Electreon and InductEV also brings together nearly 400 granted and pending patents. It also balances Electreon’s offshore manufacturing efficiencies with InductEV’s Build America Buy America (BABA) compliant offerings. This ensures North American transit agencies and federal contractors can access wireless technology while remaining eligible for government funding and incentives.
“By combining our proven dynamic wireless product with InductEV’s leadership in ultra-fast stationary charging, we offer powerful synergies in manufacturing and technology, helping fleets go electric without compromising their operations,” said Oren Ezer, CEO and co-founder of Electreon.
