Momentum Dynamics Corp. has installed a wireless charging system for a transit bus operator in Wenatchee, Wash.
The BYD bus, which is operated by Link Transit and equipped with Momentum’s wireless technology, recharges when parked over a transmitter embedded in the road. Momentum says the system can work in any weather condition and is more energy efficient than plug-in chargers with the same power rating.
The supplier aims to install more wireless charging systems in the U.S. later this year. Expansion into Europe is planned for 2019.
