Wireless EV Charging Pioneer InductEV Strikes Strategic Partnership with UK-based Kooling to Transform Urban Public Transport
LONDON, UK and KING OF PRUSSIA, PA, December 11 - London-based Kooling and Philadelphia-based InductEV today announced a strategic partnership that will deliver to public transport administrators and EV fleet operators a transformative offering that’s expected to achieve significantly greater efficiencies, safety, and sustainability in urban mobility. Kooling, which provides big data-driven urban mobility technology solutions, will work with InductEV, the global pioneer in high-power wireless charging for commercial vehicles, to accelerate the clean energy transition in the public transport sector.
By combining Kooling’s sophisticated sensing technology and mobility analytics with InductEV’s best-in-class wireless inductive EV charging solution, the partnership brings together two industry leaders focused on a smarter and greener urban mobility landscape for the future.
A Shared Vision for Smart Cities
Kooling and Induct EV are committed to improving urban life through innovative technology. InductEV’s wireless vehicle charging model for fleets uses high-power, on-route charging to reduce vehicle downtime and infrastructure footprints, while increasing reliability and safety. Kooling’s proprietary platform gathers and analyzes mobility patterns, which offers insights that enable city administrations and fleet operators to optimize the efficiencies of their transportation networks, while decarbonizing.
The partnership will integrate these complementary solutions into a unified offering, delivering a robust package designed to help Cities achieve their service levels and sustainability goals faster and more effectively. By streamlining operations, Kooling and InductEV are poised to support municipalities in addressing challenges such as traffic congestion, air quality improvement, and urban planning efficiency.
“There are few companies with the technology and insights into urban mobility that Kooling has,” said James Wroe, InductEV’s Managing Director for Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. “We are delighted to be working alongside them to deliver a timely and easily implemented solution in an industry sector that needs it most – public transport.”
“Kooling’s mission is to empower Cities and Companies with unprecedented insight on mobility patterns, demand and the impact these have on the organisation, the people and the urban environment,” said David Falconi, founder and CEO of Kooling. “By partnering with InductEV, we can bridge the gap between mobility insights and energy solutions, delivering a comprehensive offering to city leaders and fleet operators who are committed to making their cities more efficient and beautiful.”
Wireless charging electric bus in Indianapolis approaches an InductEV charging pad
InductEV’s high-power wireless charging system works by using inductive charging pads: an in-ground pad that is instantly activated when paired with an under-the-vehicle pad. Current systems provided by InductEV range from 75 kW up to a 450- kW wireless charge. No additional real estate is needed compared to wired conductive chargers and the hands-free operation improves driver safety as well.
Significantly, the company’s solution shifts the charging paradigm from relying solely on time- and energy-intensive overnight wired charging sessions in depots to shorter, on-route charging sessions spread throughout the day, which reduces the friction of electrification for both power utilities and fleet operators by maximizing the use of available (clean) energy.
