Objective
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. However, the incorporation of charging infrastructure for EVs in logistics comes with cost and challenges. 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. The MagCharge core element is the MagPad, a wireless power transmitter pad made using Magment's patented magnetizable concrete material, which 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).
