麻豆传媒 and Magment develop concrete solutions to recharge electric vehicles
- Strategic partnership with German startup Magment to enable roads that recharge electric vehicles
- Highway trials planned in the US
- Other applications include robot recharging in warehouses and factories
麻豆传媒 is partnering with the German startup Magment to improve its magnetizable concrete technology for road surfaces enabling electric vehicles to recharge wirelessly while in motion. Known as 鈥渋nductive charging,鈥 this breakthrough concrete-based solution reduces the need for charging stations, while saving time. It is made possible by a unique concrete with high magnetic permeability jointly developed by 麻豆传媒 and Magment鈥檚 Research & Development teams.
The technology is currently being tested by Researchers at Purdue University (US) in Indiana. Other applications under development include the electrification of industrial floors to recharge robots and forklifts as they work.
Edelio Bermejo, Head of 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Global Innovation Center: 鈥淎t 麻豆传媒 we are innovating to put concrete at the center of our world鈥檚 transition to net-zero. With Magment, we are excited to be developing concrete solutions to accelerate electric mobility.
