The earth’s fossil resources are limited. However, the desire for mobility is as strong as
ever. The drive of the future will rely on wind, hydro and solar power. So far, vehicles with
electric drives are still a niche product. The reason for this is installed in the vehicle; it is
too large, too heavy, and too expensive: the battery. While experts all over the world are
trying to make batteries more efficient and compact, SEW-EURODRIVE already has a
market-ready solution.
Mobility in urban areas does not need extended
range in the form of over-dimensioned batteries.
Vehicles for the city and the surrounding area
need flexibility and independence from few charg-
ing station. The implementation of our concept
could solve the problems of electric mobility
quickly and efficiently.
Induction for the future
The small batteries of electric vehicles are
re-charged in portions. By means of induction.
Without cables, plugs, or long waiting times.
Wherever an electric vehicle stops, it is re-
charged. In company parking lots, in parking
garages, public service stations, park & ride
facilities, and even at traffic lights: When the
vehicle stops above an induction plate that is
embedded in the road surface or a charging
pad installed on the road surface, the battery
is charged without contact. Each stop provides
new energy for mobility.
Today’s induction solutions for
industrial automation will move
urban traffic tomorrow
For decades, we have convinced our industry
customers with innovative mobile solutions. This
expertise is the basis for future-oriented solutions
that will provide sustainable urban mobility. Our
induction solutions, originally developed for in-
dustrial automation, are the key for the future use
of electric mobility in urban areas. In the future?
Right now, if you want!
Electric mobility “made by SEW-EURODRIVE”:
– Environmentally friendly, clean, and quiet
– Sustainable and cost-effective
– Mature, maintenance-free technology
– Easy-to-use and safe
– Rugged and vandalism-proof
– Can be used in all urban areas
8 Electric mobility for everyday use
The current concepts for charging electric vehicles require the drivers to stop at certain charging stations.
There, they must handle power sockets, charging cables, and vehicle plugs. An alternative concept involves
a battery swap at the service station. However, if you opt for our system of contactless energy transfer via
induction instead, you get a market-proven basic technology for convenient, everyday electric mobility: Our
fully developed charging concept gets electric vehicles going.
Everyone interested in advancing electric cars can gear up now

This is how it works:
Primary coils can be embedded in the ground
wherever cars park and stop in urban areas.
An AC current creates a magnetic field in these
coils, which in turn induces an AC current in the
secondary coil. This secondary coil is installed
in the vehicle floor.
When a vehicle stops in such an induction zone
[1], an energy supply unit detects the charging
status of the vehicle battery [2]. The battery
is charged until it is full [3], or until the vehicle
moves on [4]. This energy not only re-charges
the battery, it is also available to the entire
on-board electrical system. The coils are
electromagnetically shielded. The magnetic
field cannot enter the ground or the passenger
compartment. Each time a vehicle stops above
a primary coil, the battery is re-charged auto-
matically.
The battery can be very small if the network
of charging stations is dense enough in urban
areas. Always clean, safe, and reliable: Our in-
novative solutions provide almost unlimited
electric mobility. For cars, taxis, buses, urban
transportation vehicles.

Rental bikes are en vogue: Many European cities already offer bikes for rent. For half an
hour, for one day, or longer. Metropolises such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Paris, Vienna,
Stockholm, Rome, London, Barcelona, and Copenhagen can breathe again: People who
cycle help to reduce emissions, particulate matter, and noise. A city bike with built-in
electric mobility from SEW-EURODRIVE combines eco-friendliness with convenience.
Bicycles with electric motor support extend your
range and save your energy. In the city, they are
an alternative to the traditional car with internal
combustion engine to be reckoned with.
The new effortlessness of mobility is repre-
sented by the “pedelec”. The “pedal-electric
cycle” is a city bike with a motor that supports
the cyclist and reduces the effort necessary
for pedaling. At SEW-EURODRIVE, the pedelec
battery is charged without contact via the bicy-
cle kickstand. A charging pad embedded in the
floor generates the necessary energy field. It
can be installed at rent-a-bike stations, train
stations, company parking lots, or in bicycle
parking garages. Safe and reliable.
12 TripleSolution
An innovation with three distinctive advantages: TripleSolution
Electric mobility is eco-friendly when the required power is generated from renewable
energy sources, which makes it independent of fossil fuels. This poses two challenges:
Regenerative energy is not always available, and it needs to be buffered. Our solution is
an innovation with three distinctive advantages: TripleSolution.
The basis of TripleSolution is a charging station
equipped with photovoltaic cells or a wind tur-
bine. The charging station generates energy for
charging the battery without a connection to
the public power grid. This allows for a quick
and cost-effective installation and expansion
of electric mobility – guaranteed CO2-free.
TripleSolution means that the charging station
can handle the energy distribution in three
different ways. Let’s take a charging station
with photovoltaic technology as an example:
1. The sun is shining and a vehicle arrives at the station:
The generated energy is transferred directly to the vehicle.
2. The sun is shining and there is no vehicle at the station:
The generated energy is stored for future charging demand.
3. The sun is not shining and a vehicle arrives at the station:
The stored energy is transferred to the vehicle.
In the event that the energy buffer is empty and
the sun is not shining when a vehicle arrives at
the station, the charging station is supplied with
energy from the public grid. If, on the other hand,
more energy is generated than is used, the ex-
cess amount can be supplied to the public grid.
TripleSolution distributes the generated energy
to three different receivers: energy buffer, elec-
tric vehicle, public power grid. During most of the
time, TripleSolution is an isolated network, which
reduces the strain on the public power grid.

The infrastructure of the future: Proven in everyday operations, available from the factory
Components
The infrastructure of the future can be realized at every desired location in urban areas,
without time-consuming changes to the streetscape. It is simple and can be used intui-
tively by every motorist and cyclist. Our components for such a future-proof infrastructure
meet all these requirements. They have been tried and tested by many customers in every-
day industrial operations. The individual components also comply with the requirements
stipulated by VDE-AR-E 2122-4-2 for smooth interoperability of different vehicle types.
Supply unit [1]
The supply unit provides energy to the charging
pad (primary coil) and establishes a communi-
cation link with the vehicle. This link transfers
identification data, billing data, and information
about the battery status.
Charging pad [2]
The charging pad (primary coil) is installed flush
with the ground in newly constructed parking
spaces. In existing parking spaces, the pad can
simply be installed on the asphalt surface. The
charging pad generates and concentrates the
electromagnetic field for the energy transfer.
Pick-up [3]
The pick-up (secondary coil) is installed at the
vehicle floor. It can also be integrated in the
vehicle floor as part of the car body. It picks up
the energy of the electromagnetic field and
supplies it to the on-board charging unit in the
form of alternating current.
Charging unit [4]
The charging unit in the vehicle receives the
energy from the pick-up. It is connected to the
battery management system (BMS). The BMS
controls the charging process and the current
required at present from the charging unit.

16 MAXOLUTION® using the example of an AGV
Inductive AGV systems – driven by
Today, automated guided vehicle systems (AGV)
are used for assembly lines and transport pro-
cesses in many industry sectors. AGVs automate
the in-house material flow or form the basis for
flexible assembly processes.
Advantages compared to other
automated logistics systems:
– Great flexibility
– No obstruction of floor space
– Standardization
– High efficiency
Our inductive AGV portfolio
comprises various components
of our MAXOLUTION® system:
A key element is contactless energy transfer with
MOVITRANS®: Thanks to contactless energy
transfer, which is resistant to environmental in-
fluences, the AGV does not need a battery. The
vehicle functions are controlled by the decentral-
ized MOVIPRO® drive and positioning controller.
Separate energy management ensures optimum
efficiency. The vehicles are coordinated via the
parameterizable MOVIVISION® plant software
with an interface to the customer’s master
controller.
MOVITRANS®
The MOVITRANS® contactless energy supply system
is based on the principle of inductive energy transfer. A
permanently installed cable transfers the energy to one
or several mobile consumers. Without contact. Electro-
magnetically coupled via an air gap. Wear and main-
tenance-free. This type of energy supply is safe and
reliable in any kind of weather. MOVITRANS® neither
produces any dirt nor is it sensitive to it.
MOVIPRO®
The decentralized drive, positioning, and application con-
troller MOVIPRO® combines drive electronics and software
intelligence. This makes MOVIPRO® the ideal basis for
every open and flexible plant architecture, be it for newly
built plants or modernizations. MOVIPRO® allows for de-
centralized control of conveyor lines. This technology is
superior to traditional, centrally controlled systems. The
electronic components require a lot less space. Project
planning, installation and maintenance could not be any
simpler.
MOVIVISION®
So far, three things have been necessary to start up or
modify plants, drive systems or individual drives: A lot
of time, strong nerves, and special programming skills.
MOVIVISION® has been designed so that plant manufac-
turers and operators can start up the materials handling
equipment easily and quickly. Even during the production
process, the plant parameters can be adjusted quickly to
new production requirements with MOVIVISION®.
17MAXOLUTION® AGV/FTS
