EVIAS is proud to announce the launch of its innovative electric road charging solution in France, marking a significant step towards decarbonizing road transport. This groundbreaking system was introduced at our pilot site in Troyes, in the presence of notable political figures such as Vanina Paoli-Gagin (Senator of Aube), François Baroin (Mayor of Troyes and President of Troyes Champagne Métropole), Philippe Pichery (President of the Département de l’Aube), and Christophe Collet (Director of Université de Technologie de Troyes). Their support underscores the importance of this development for the future of sustainable mobility.
A Game-Changer for Road Transport
Our cutting-edge technology transforms the driving experience by integrating charging directly into roadways. The EVIAS system enables vehicles to charge while in motion, eliminating the need for stops. A collector attached to the vehicle automatically connects to an electrified rail embedded in the road. As soon as the vehicle passes over the rail, charging begins seamlessly. When the vehicle leaves the electrified section, the collector retracts automatically, allowing for uninterrupted journeys.
Tailored for Freight and Public Transport
Designed with versatility in mind, our solution is suitable for both freight transport companies and public transport systems in cities. Its compatibility with all types of vehicles makes it an ideal option for reducing CO2 emissions in various sectors. The Université de Technologie de Troyes (UTT) has already selected the E-DFS1® system to equip a shuttle service that will transport students starting in 2025, showcasing the practical application of our technology.
A Step Towards a Greener Future
With road transport contributing approximately 25% of global CO2 emissions, the EVIAS solution offers a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative. By powering vehicles as they drive, we provide a practical path to reducing emissions and optimizing transport efficiency. Our system represents a significant stride in the transition to greener, smarter transportation solutions.
