Electreon Partners With AV Maker ATLoS, Bringing Wireless Charging to Industrial Transport

Wireless EV charging company Electreon Wireless Ltd. signed a collaboration agreement with ATLoS, a Portugal-based autonomous vehicle supplier and part of ProCME Group, to integrate wireless charging into autonomous industrial transport. The partnership will focus on environments such as logistics hubs, warehouses, and manufacturing compounds where vehicles travel on fixed routes. Electreon announced the news on PR Newswire on September 16, 2025.

Electreon will provide its hardware, software, and technical support while ATLoS adapts its autonomous vehicles to include inductive charging coils. Charging infrastructure will be embedded in the ground to enable both dynamic charging while vehicles are moving and static charging at designated points, reducing downtime and eliminating the need for manual plug-in charging.

José Reis Costa, ProCME Group CEO, said, “This collaboration with Electreon represents another strategic step in ATLoS’s mission to redefine industrial mobility with truly autonomous and sustainable solutions. By integrating wireless charging technology into our autonomous vehicles, we can eliminate operational barriers, reduce downtime, and increase our clients’ efficiency. We are excited to join forces with a partner that shares our vision of a smarter, more automated, and cleaner industrial future.”

The initiative is designed to open opportunities across industries including automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, airports, and ports, where reliable autonomous transport is in demand. The first project will roll out on a smaller scale with an existing ATLoS customer, serving as a proof of concept. By combining autonomous navigation with continuous wireless power, the collaboration aims to accelerate the vision of fully autonomous, wirelessly charged industrial fleets. This approach has the potential to make industrial operations more sustainable, efficient, and seamless, while also strengthening both companies’ positions in the rapidly evolving mobility and energy markets.

“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.”

EVinfo.net’s Take: AV Will Grow EV, Both Will Grow WEVC

The rapid growth of the autonomous vehicle industry will significantly accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. Since most AV development is built on electric platforms, the demand for EVs will expand in parallel as autonomous technology scales. Electric drivetrains are easier to integrate with advanced sensors, computing systems, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, making them the natural foundation for driverless fleets. As more companies and municipalities deploy autonomous shuttles, delivery vehicles, and ride-hailing services, charging infrastructure will expand and costs will decline, creating a stronger ecosystem for EV adoption overall. In this way, the rise of autonomy and electrification are deeply interconnected, with each driving the other forward.

Porsche Will Be First to Offer Wireless EV Charging

On September 5, EVinfo.net reported that Porsche is taking a major step forward in the electric vehicle space by introducing its new inductive charging system, which will debut in Europe in 2026 before expanding to other markets. Instead of plugging in, drivers of the upcoming Cayenne Electric will simply park over a floor-mounted charging plate, where power is transferred wirelessly at up to 11 kW.

The news created controversy, mostly about the cost-effectiveness of Porsche’s wireless offering. While it is not something most homeowners are likely to choose, it is important news due to the rise of projects such as Electreon’s partnership with ATLoS.

Wireless EV charging will continue to grow, along with AV and EV. Exciting new technologies like wireless charging, AVs, and V2G/V2X (the ability for vehicles to send power to the grid, homes, or other things) are all converging on the fast-moving global EV revolution. It’s never been a more important, innovative time for transportation and the electric grid, as we are witnessing a historic transformation that will bring lower costs, cleaner air, and peacefully quiet vehicle operation to every kind of transportation, in every corner of the globe.
