South Korea has launched a wireless electric buses fleet in its South-Eastern city of Gumi, becoming the first in the world to test the technology on public roads.
Online electric vehicle fleet (OLEVA) buses recharge wirelessly at specially equipped 15-mile stretch of road.
Just below the road surface, electrical cables, capable of magnetic transmission power on the buses. Buses have special electrical windings lower their landing gear. These electrical coils collect power from the road.
Technology that allows buses to generate energy without wires via specially equipped road called the form of the magnetic field in resonance (SMFIR).
Currently, two buses running OLEVA back and forth along the central city route.
Korean Institute of science is & technology (KAIST), the project will provide the country with electric vehicles that don't have to rely on traditional fuels or huge batteries.
Gumi city authorities plan to add 10 more wireless electric buses to the fleet, to the year 2015.
