Overview
- Construction has concluded and the E|MPOWER consortium has started the operational test phase on a roughly one‑kilometre section between Amberg‑West and Sulzbach‑Rosenberg.
- Electreon’s inductive system uses coils embedded in the asphalt to transfer energy to equipped vehicles while driving or parked, activating only for authorized vehicles under a digitally managed platform.
- An electric truck, an electric transporter and a Toyota bZ4X will run the segment to collect real‑world data, with the roadway remaining passive for general traffic.
- The FAU‑led project includes Electreon, VIA IMC, Risomat, TH Nürnberg, Seamless Energy Technologies and Eurovia, with funding from BMWK and support from Autobahn GmbH.
- Specific continuous power figures have not been disclosed as researchers validate efficiency and losses and develop series‑ready build and coil‑production methods that could enable smaller batteries and improved fleet operations.
