Audio Transit To Become Wireless Inward Seattle With 48 Electrical Buses, Including 33 Double-Deckers

InductEV, a pioneer in wireless EV charging, today announced that Sound Transit will deploy its wireless charging engineering science for Seattle'sec novel Stride jitney rapid transit service. The procurement includes 48 wirelessly charging electrical buses, including 33 double-deckers from Alexander Dennis, one of the Earth'second leading independent global double-decker manufacturers and a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc.

Seattle will live the outset place in North America to deploy bus electrical buses with inductive wireless charging.







Sound Transit has ordered 33 zippo-emission Alexander Dennis Enviro500EV omnibus electric buses in addition to 15 sixty' articulated electrical buses powered past xiii 300-kW in-ground inductive chargers. This roll-out volition brand Sound Transit the 7th transit means inward Washington State to deploy InductEV'second patented wireless charging technology.

The companionship's engineering is currently inward function or scheduled for deployment inward about 100 electric buses throughout the state, along alongside 35 InductEV in-earth wireless charging pads. The Sound Transit installation represents a meaning achievement inward overcoming the challenges of limited existent estate inwards dark-green infinite community districts. InductEV'second applied science avoids wired, depot-oriented charging methods that swallow considerable real estate as well as electric utility assets while allowing polish, high-powered wireless charging interoperability for both motorbus in addition to lx' articulated electric buses on BRT high-stop commuter routes.

Daytime on-road wireless charging besides enhances the purpose of renewable free energy for electricity versus inward-depot wired charging at night. Sound Transit volition accuse its buses on-road too in depots since most half of the electricity inward the Puget Sound part comes from renewables.

"The inclusion of Alexander Dennis marks an exciting new chapter for InductEV," explained Brandon Anulewicz, Chief Revenue Officer for InductEV. "Together, nosotros'll grow the fellowship'sec existing footprint as well as, past and then doing, accelerate the benefits of wireless inductive charging engineering science inwards the commercial together with municipal carry sectors."

InductEV'sec wireless charging technology debuted inwards the state inwards 2017 with Link Transit inward Wenatchee, WA. Using InductEV's solution, Link Transit'second accomplishments include a 17-hour duty bike and a remarkable ane:1 diesel replacement ratio for enhanced range too operational efficiency. That deployment inspired several transit agencies to comprehend the engineering science to bring down their carbon footprints in addition to fuel costs. Sound Transit is the latest.

Mr. Anulewicz continued: "It'second nearly more than than simply buses. It's most transforming communities, reducing emissions, and creating greener, more efficient transportation systems. We keep to run closely alongside local agencies to facilitate the expansion of statewide wireless networks, connecting Washington communities and spearheading sustainable shipping solutions."
