Various systems for transferring electrical energy directly to rolling road vehicles will be evaluated in the project. The project will examine both conductive (with contact) and inductive (without contact) energy transfer from road to vehicle. To increase the benefits of an expanded system in the Swedish road network, the system must be accessible to both light and heavy vehicles.

The project has been granted support in one of FFI´s five sub-programs: Transport Efficiency, Vehicle Development, Vehicle & Traffic Safety, Energy & Environment and Sustainable Production Technology. The objectives of FFI (Strategic Vehicle Research and Innovation - a partnership between the public sector and automotive industry in Sweden) are to reduce the environmental impact of road transports, decrease the number of fatalities and injuries in traffic and strengthen the competitive power of the Swedish automobile industry.
