KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — InductEV has announced its membership in the Zero-Emission Port Equipment Alliance (ZEPA), a trade group dedicated to reducing emissions at ports worldwide. By joining ZEPA, InductEV aims to help decarbonize over 120,000 container handling equipment units (CHE) that contribute 10-15 million tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually.
The company’s wireless charging technology for commercial fleets has already been deployed successfully with municipal transit agencies across North America and Europe. InductEV’s high-power inductive charging systems are now operational at APM Terminals in Port Elizabeth, New Jersey, and will soon be installed at a major West Coast U.S. port. This technology stands out for its hands-free operation, improved fleet utilization, and reduced capital expenses.
“We embrace the mission of ZEPA and share in its members’ vision for the electric future of the 940 container ports around the world,” said James Wroe, InductEV’s Managing Director for Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. “This industry is at a tipping point, and we’re excited to demonstrate the role wireless, opportunistic charging can play in this vital transformation.”
ZEPA has outlined key goals that include reducing production costs for battery-electric equipment, standardizing charging solutions to simplify adoption, and scaling efficient power infrastructure. InductEV’s wireless charging system supports these initiatives by utilizing inductive pads embedded in the ground, which offer charging power from 75 kW to 450 kW without taking up additional space. This hands-free solution also enhances driver safety while cutting costs for fleet operators.
By collaborating with ZEPA, InductEV aims to help ports across the globe adopt cleaner, more efficient technologies, accelerating the industry’s transition to a sustainable future.
