OLEV Technology To Demonstrate “Electronic Roadway” in McAllen, Texas

McAllen project will demonstrate a zero emission green transportation solution, the effective use of enroute-charging technology to create an effective ‘electronic roadway’, as well as the cost-effective conversion of diesel buses to electric...


OLEV technology was originally invented at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). President Nam-Pyo Suh of KAIST said, "We are excited to learn that McAllen, Texas will add OLEV buses to their public transportation services in order to make the city cleaner and greener and to improve energy efficiency. This iscertainly an encouraging endeavor for other communities around the world toemulate. On our side, we will continuously fine-tune OLEV's core technology including the SMFIR (Shaped Magnetic Field in Resonance) technology so that it can be widely adapted to other areas of research and industry development such as road automation, next generation transportation system, and consumer electronics."
