In collaboration with TRL, the LowCVP has facilitated a stakeholder workshop, to help shape an important Highways Agency project on dynamic wireless power transfer.
Dynamic wireless power transfer – enabling electric vehicles to be powered from the road while driving - could provide an important opportunity to support and accelerate the introduction of EVs in the UK and elsewhere in the world.
The Highways Agency has commissioned a feasibility study, to assess how the strategic road network could respond to this challenge. The Agency aims to find out how an wireless power transfer could operate on the strategic road network. The Agency commissioned TRL to lead the feasibility study which will investigate potential solutions, with possible trials after the study has concluded.
The objective of the workshop was to provide an overview of the project and to gather key questions and issues which stakeholders believe need to be addressed as part of the investigation.
The LowCVP and the SMMT are supporting TRL and the Highway Agency in this project by facilitating engagement with a wide range of stakeholders.
