As part of a $5 million award from the United States Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office, Purdue researchers from the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering are collaborating with Cummins Inc., Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Walmart to develop wireless charging technology for electric heavy-duty vehicles such as Class 8 trucks (tractor-trailers).

At the “Crossroads of America,” Purdue University engineers and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) are working to make it possible for electric vehicles ranging from tractor-trailers to passenger cars to wirelessly charge while driving on highways.

The award is given annually to a university researcher who has made highly significant and impactful contributions in pure and applied sciences and engineering.
