Tel Aviv implements electric road pilot program

ElectReon is an Israeli company that develops and implements Wireless Electric Road Systems (ERS), and Dan is a partial owner of ElectReon, according to Globes.The technology allows for electric vehicles to traverse roads without needing to recharge and has an estimated technical lifespan of approximately 40 years if properly maintained, according to ElectReon.

The pilot is part of a larger push by the city to encourage the use of vehicles that reduce emissions and aims to reduce air pollution. City officials believe that electric roads could have a major impact.If integration and testing is successful, the city plans to have a regular bus line on the electric road within two months.

Tel Aviv is the first city in the world to use the technology for a public route on a large scale, according to ElectReon CEO and founding partner Oren Ezer.Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai said that “electric transportation will assist municipal efforts to reduce air pollution and noise and assist the transition to green modes of transport.”
