Phoenix Motorcars & InductEV Partner for Wireless MD Vehicle Charging

Phoenix Motorcars, an electrification solutions provider for medium-duty vehicles and manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses, has established an integration agreement with InductEV, a pioneer in wireless vehicle charging technology. InductEV enables fleets to use hands-free on-route charging.

“The use cases for Phoenix’s medium-duty vehicles align perfectly with InductEV’s wireless charging approach to the commercial transport market,” said M. David Dealy, president and chief commercial officer of InductEV.

The new partnership will develop software, hardware, and cooling and electrical systems integration of InductEV’s wireless charging pads with Phoenix’s zero-emission drive systems. Phoenix said this partnership will provide its customers with the option to select wireless inductive charging for use in duty cycles and recurring routes.

“Wireless charging is well-suited for fixed route applications such as airports, seaports, hotels, and municipal and school bus markets,” said Phoenix CEO Denton Peng. “InductEV’s modular platform and small footprint allow Phoenix to successfully adopt InductEV’s technology on our medium-duty vehicles and offer our customers a cleaner and more versatile charging solution.”

Phoenix has already accepted orders for wireless charging of its Class 4 shuttles and expects to deploy its first wireless charging-capable shuttle buses later in 2024.

InductEV’s proprietary on-route wireless solution is now deployed throughout North America and Europe and has 18 U.S. patents and 23 pending.
