Induction charging in Italy, not just cars: technology also looks to airports

We recently told you about the Arena del Futuro project, the experimental circuit along the A35 Brebemi motorway where we find a wireless induction charging systemdrowned inside the asphalt to recharge the batteries of electric vehicles in motion.

Well, the technology DWPT (Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer) attracted the attention of SACBO Spa, which built and manages the international airport of Milan Bergamo – Orio al Serio. The company and A35 Brebemi have signed a agreement of collaboration in order to “independently verify the functionality of the induction electric charging technology, so as to be able to identify potential interventions and evaluate any initiative that proves suitable for reducing pollution also in the airport area“.

A35 Brebemi will have to carry out, in a section of the “Arena del Futuro” test circuit, the installation works of the DWPT technology in an environment specially adapted to the airport sector. A35 Brebemi and SACBO undertake to collaborate in order to identify potential joint interventions as a result of the experimentation at the Arena of the Future.

“The working groups in the field for both realities will elaborate and produce a program of actions and activities, setting the deadlines and the related skills; technical-economic feasibility studies on the initiatives indicated by the parties and a final reportto be delivered to the top management bodies of each party, on the results of their analyzes and assessments “, reads the note.

“The development of the study linked to DWPT technology and its positive results are arousing great interest at an international level” said Francesco Bettoni, President of A35 Brebemi. “For this reason we welcome with satisfaction the collaboration agreement with an important company in our area, such as the Il Caravaggio International Airport in Milan Bergamo – Orio al Serio, which will evaluate with us the feasibility of using this innovative system. in the airport sector, towards the decarbonisation of passenger and freight mobility “.
