Dynamic wireless charging of racing cars
On July 27 2011, HaloIPT announced a new strategic partnership with Drayson Racing Technologies, the green R&D racing organization. It was founded by Lord Drayson, former UK Minister for Science and Innovation. The partnership intends to use HaloIPT's unique wireless charging technology to power high-performance cars as they race around the track. This partnership, which develops and races green motorsport technology, including electric vehicles (EV), aims to pioneer the deployment of dynamic (in-motion) charging of zero emission electric vehicles. The racing cars, fitted with HaloIPT technology, will pick up power wirelessly from transmitters buried under the surface of the road or race track; transferring power directly to the vehicle's electric battery, ensuring that the vehicle receives constant charging on the move.
