Overview
- Construction is complete on a roughly one‑kilometer A6 section between Amberg‑West and Sulzbach‑Rosenberg, marking Germany’s first autobahn trial of in‑road wireless charging and its longest test stretch to date.
- The installation uses Electreon technology with coils embedded beneath the asphalt that transfer energy to receiver coils in equipped vehicles during driving or when parked.
- Only authorized vehicles can draw power and the system conforms to international magnetic‑field safety standards, keeping the roadway passive for all other traffic.
- Testing involves multiple vehicle types, including an electric truck, an electric transporter and a Toyota bZ4X, with researchers analyzing efficiency and loss mechanisms at traffic speeds.
- Partners aim to develop series‑ready installation methods and scalable coil manufacturing, with digital energy‑flow management to avoid demand peaks and support fleet and grid needs; specific power levels have not been disclosed.
