AECOM, Colorado Transportation Dept Kick Off Energy-Transfer Highway Segment Development; Andrew Liu, Peter Kozinski Comment - top government contractors - best government contracting eventAECOM and Colorado’s State Department of Transportation have teamed up to develop an energy-transfer highway segment that would charge electric-powered trucks through a coil transmission system, TruckingInfo reported Friday.

Jack Roberts writes the project will test an electric grid embedded in a highway stretch designed to transmit electricity to electric-powered vehicles through energy coils attached to the truck’s underside as part of CDOT’s RoadX program.

Peter Kozinski, director of CDOT’s RoadX program, said the agency has worked with AECOM for nearly eight months to kick off the pilot program, according to the report.

Andrew Liu, vice president of AECOM’s ventures arm, added that the company also collaborates with the Sustainable Electrified Transportation Research Center at Utah State University to explore systems that show the potential for an energy-transfer segment, the report says.

“We started talking to them about the feasibility of charging an electric vehicle while it is in motion,” Liu was quoted as saying.

He said the center developed a one-fourth-mile loop track for vehicle charging while in transit and that the result served as the basis for the pilot program, Roberts reports.

Kozinski added that the program is preliminary and the team seeks additional equipment manufacturers, technology and fleet partners for the project, according to the report.
