Development of an efficient and robust wireless inductive charging system for material handling electric vehicles

Introduction

In the EU, transportation of goods generates about 28% of total CO2 emissions and consumes 37.5% of total EU energy production. Current intra logistics systems include internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and EVs.

Challenges in Logistics

However, the incorporation of charging infrastructure for EVs in logistics comes with costs and challenges.

MagCharge Solution

Within this context, the MagCharge is a unique solution that offers a combination of inductive wireless charging technology with the robustness of concrete, which is vital for industrial applications.

Core Element: MagPad

The MagCharge core element is the MagPad, a wireless power transmitter pad made using Magment's patented magnetizable concrete material.

• The MagPad consists of a coil for inductive transmission whose efficiency is >95%.
• It is also perfectly suitable for inductive charging roads as it works with any cover layer (both concrete and asphalt).
