STEER Tech and HEVO have partnered to launch a groundbreaking wireless autonomous charging solution, integrating high-precision autonomous vehicle technology with cutting-edge wireless charging. This collaboration aims to revolutionize fleet depot operations by enabling driverless navigation, docking, and charging, eliminating manual processes and boosting efficiency.
Key Highlights
- Industry-First Partnership: Combines STEER’s autonomous software with HEVO’s wireless charging platform.
- End-to-End Automation: Enables vehicles to navigate, dock, and charge without human intervention.
- Enhanced Fleet Efficiency: Reduces labor costs and maximizes vehicle uptime.
- Proven Technologies: Leverages STEER’s decade of autonomous expertise and HEVO’s patented charging system.
- Timeline: Integration begins immediately, with demonstrations planned for Fall 2025.
Transforming Fleet Operations
The partnership between HEVO and STEER Tech introduces a fully automated solution for commercial fleets. By merging STEER’s precision-driven autonomous platform with HEVO’s wireless charging technology, the collaboration eliminates the need for manual charging logistics. This innovation allows vehicles to autonomously navigate complex depots, execute precise low-speed maneuvers, and dock seamlessly at wireless charging pads. According to Jeremy McCool, CEO of HEVO, this solution “frees fleets from the labor and downtime of manual charging,” marking a significant step toward full depot autonomy.
Proven Technology for Real-World Impact
STEER Tech brings nearly 10 years of expertise in autonomous vehicle technology, specializing in high-precision depot operations. Its platform supports automated navigation, parking, docking, and charging alignment, even in space-constrained environments. Integrated with depot management systems and telematics, STEER’s technology ensures seamless fleet orchestration. Dr. Anuja Sonalker, Founder and CEO of STEER Tech, emphasized that this partnership will “accelerate the future of autonomous fleet operations,” creating fully autonomous ecosystems that enhance efficiency and deliver significant return on investment.
HEVO’s patented wireless charging platform complements STEER’s capabilities by enabling cable-free, automatic EV charging. This technology simplifies the charging process, reducing operational friction and supporting the scalability of electric fleets.
Development and Demonstrations
The first vehicle to feature this integrated solution will be a Ford E-Transit, already equipped with STEER’s autonomous technology. Integration work is underway at HEVO’s Brooklyn, NY headquarters, with public demonstrations scheduled for Fall 2025. These showcases, potentially involving leading logistics partners, will highlight the solution’s real-world applications. McCool noted, “This isn’t science fiction—it’s the next logical step in autonomous fleet technology.”
