Wireless charging specialist Electreon has signed a collaboration agreement with ATLoS, a Portugal-based company that specializes in manufacturing autonomous vehicles (AVs) for industrial environments. Through this collaboration, Electreon’s cutting-edge wireless charging technology will be integrated into ATLoS’s AVs, starting with vehicles operating along fixed routes within manufacturing compounds, logistics hubs, and warehouse environments.

The successful collaborative project could create significant new market opportunities for streamlining fully autonomous mobility solutions across sectors including automotive, food and beverage, pharma, airports, and ports.

Electreon towards the autonomous truck business

The ProCME Group, to which ATLoS belongs, has a strong presence in areas such as renewable energy, industrial robotics, urban mobility, and digital transformation, specializing in AVs for logistics hubs, manufacturing compounds, and warehouse environments.

By embedding Electreon’s wireless charging coils into the ground along fixed operational routes, ATLoS vehicles are ready to charge dynamically while in motion or statically when parked at loading docks, eliminating the need for manual plugging and charging downtime. This synergy of two transformative technologies—autonomous driving and wireless energy transfer—is designed to streamline industrial logistics and optimize fleet operations for 24/7 automation.

“This partnership with ATLoS is a critical step into the rapidly growing industrial automation market,” said Oren Ezer, CEO of Electreon. “To achieve true autonomy, the charging process must also be autonomous. Combining our proven wireless charging with ATLoS’s innovative AVs creates a ‘set-and-forget’ solution that offers unparalleled operational efficiency for their customers.”
