FABRIC is a Collaborative Project addressing the technological feasibility, economic viability and socio-environmental aspects of dynamic on-road charging of electric vehicles. The project responds to the need to assess the potential and feasibility of a more extensive integration of electric vehicles in the mobility and transportation system, focusing primarily on dynamic wireless charging which would avoid the drawbacks of battery packs on board vehicles.
The project defines and assesses the end-user requirements that will determine the potential of success in various application sectors, the technology drivers and challenges that impact the widespread implementation of wireless charging technology, and the technology gaps to be bridged in order to provide rational and cost-effective solutions for the grid and road infrastructures.
Advanced solutions, conceived to enable full integration in the grid and road infrastructure, will be implemented and tested at sites in Italy and France.
