Wireless Charging Integration in Autonomous Industrial Vehicles

Share your love

Electreon, the Israeli company behind wireless EV charging tech, is partnering with Portuguese autonomous vehicle maker ATLoS to embed wireless charging into driverless vehicles operating in industrial environments.

The goal: keep autonomous fleets running around the clock without human intervention or charging downtime.

These vehicles, built for logistics centers, manufacturing plants, and other high-throughput zones, will recharge on the move through Electreon’s road-embedded coils. Rather than stopping for a charge, or requiring staff to plug them in, they’ll draw power dynamically while in operation. It’s a step toward fully autonomous, self-sustaining systems that thrive in closed, route-based facilities.

The initial pilot, featuring an ATLoS vehicle fitted with Electreon’s technology, will test the concept in a controlled industrial setting. Both partners are targeting sectors where equipment is expected to operate continuously and downtime carries steep costs: automotive production, food and pharma logistics, warehouses, airports, and ports.

ATLoS, part of the Pro CME Group, already delivers autonomous vehicles for industrial use. By integrating wireless charging, they’re removing one of the final barriers to full automation: the need for human-led recharging and maintenance pauses.

Why it matters:

  • Eliminates plug-in procedures, enabling 24/7 operation
  • Cuts idle time and avoids battery scheduling conflicts
  • Lowers labor costs for charging and vehicle upkeep
  • Ideal for repeatable, closed-loop fleet routes

This collaboration is still in its pilot phase, but it shows how electrification and autonomy are converging in structured environments. Here, the tech can scale faster, operate more safely, and deliver clearer ROI. If the model works, it could fast-track self-charging fleets across the industrial landscape.
