IN THE NEWS
Evias continues to make headlines in sustainable mobility, this time featured in Les Echos, France’s leading business daily. The article spotlights Evias’ pioneering technology, which enables electric heavy-duty trucks to charge automatically while in motion through an integrated charging system on roads. This innovation offers cities and transportation companies a practical electrification solution aligned with European environmental objectives.
Continuous, High-Powered Charging for Cleaner Transportation
Evias’ technology utilizes a thin track system, easily adaptable to existing road infrastructure, whether highways or national routes. Installed beneath the vehicle, a collector equipped with a GPS sensor extends to connect to the track , charging the vehicle as it drives. This solution addresses the specific needs of heavy-duty trucks, providing up to 1 MW (1000kW) of charging power—significantly more than the typical 400 kW offered by conventional charging stations for electric trucks.
Reducing Emissions and Battery Costs
As the EU pushes towards its goal of phasing out combustion engines by 2035, Evias’ solution helps reduce both the size and cost of batteries required for heavy trucks—an essential factor for fleet operators and municipalities. In addition to minimizing CO₂ emissions, this technology optimizes vehicle range while reducing downtime.
Partnerships for Sustainable Mobility
Based in Troyes, Evias is in discussions with several major French cities to test this technology on segments up to 100 kilometers long. Additionally, Evias’ technology has already been adopted by the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT), set to power an upcoming student shuttle. This positions Evias as a key player in the region’s green transition.
A Major Step Toward Greener, Smarter Road Transport
With its dynamic charging system, Evias offers a unique solution poised to transform large-scale road transportation. The company’s innovations are attracting attention from industry leaders and government officials alike, solidifying its role in the future of electric mobility.
