Vahle and Swedish start-up Elonroad cooperate
Paul Vahle is cooperating with the Swedish e-mobility start-up Elonroad. Both companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to announce their partnership.
The aim is to develop innovative energy transmission solutions and expand the joint presence in the port industry. "The collaboration between Vahle and Elonroad brings together a unique combination of experience and expertise on an equal footing. Together we strive to set new standards in energy transmission and help shape a more sustainable future," says Achim Dries, CEO of the Vahle Group. While Vahle can look back on over 100 years of experience in energy and data transmission, the Swedish start-up is contributing its "plugless" power transmission for electric vehicles to the partnership. The innovative "plugless" technology enables e-vehicles to be charged directly while driving or parked. It is already being used in public transport and logistics centers and has proven to be reliable, efficient and cost-effective. By combining their technologies and expertise, the two companies plan to develop a comprehensive solution to reduce thecarbon footprint of container ports while increasing their operational efficiency. In-motion charging technology, i.e. dynamic or wireless charging, is expected to enable a faster and more flexible energy supply for industrial vehicles. The technology should also help the industry to take a further step towards zero-emission terminals. The cooperation partners are already in talks with several large port terminal operators to implement potential projects.
