Low-Speed Autonomous Vehicles Developing Rapidly, Hertz Innovation Helps Achieve Unmanned Charging

In recent years, low-speed autonomous vehicles have been rapidly applied across various industries. For example, in the field of unmanned sanitation, the first International Sanitation Robot Competition was held in Shenzhen in March 2024, causing a sensation in the industry. In the field of unmanned logistics, delivery, and courier services, leading companies have seen rapid growth from last year to this year, reaching a milestone of thousands of units. In the sectors of autonomous minibuses and unmanned sightseeing vehicles, local governments are actively promoting pilot applications of autonomous driving, enabling the deployment and use of these vehicles locally. At the same time, many technology-leading enterprises are launching various new products for experimentation and expansion.

Looking at the overall development of the low-speed autonomous vehicle industry, on one hand, local governments are increasingly supporting the implementation of autonomous driving technology, enriching various technological applications and allowing more advanced technologies to be applied to relevant products, bringing technological benefits to the public. On the other hand, continuous breakthroughs in autonomous driving technology and cost reductions are largely supported by the research and cooperation of upstream and downstream enterprises, driving the overall technical development of the system.

Hertz Innovation has noticed that charging for low-speed autonomous vehicles is a crucial core component. Especially when vehicles have achieved unmanned charging, fully unmanned operation in all scenarios requires automatic charging. It is clearly undesirable to have to send someone to manually plug in a charger for unmanned vehicles. Hertz Innovation also notes that the main working environment of low-speed autonomous vehicles is outdoors. Therefore, the charging process must absolutely adapt to different outdoor weather conditions. Accordingly, for the main characteristics of automatic charging and outdoor waterproofing, the high-power wireless charging system independently researched and developed by Hertz Innovation is highly suitable for low-speed autonomous vehicles. It already has multiple mature application cases across different sectors in the industry.

Collection and demonstration of market application cases

Suitable for Low-Speed Autonomous Vehicle Chassis

Innovatively increasing our wireless charging sensing distance, the current model achieves the industry's longest charging distance of 120mm. This is especially suitable for unmanned vehicles with a high ground clearance, allowing for flexible deployment and easy installation for customers.

Easily Handle Outdoor Environments

The induction coil and vehicle-side components were designed from the start with IP65 high-level waterproof and dustproof standards. For extremely cold regions, a unique charging technology preheats the battery before charging, solving an industry challenge. This greatly ensures battery safety and durability, easily coping with harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, and severe cold across the country.

Certified by TÜV Rheinland, Germany

Collaboration with TÜV Rheinland Group helps our high-power wireless charging equipment serve overseas and global customers in compliance with safety standards in various regions. This adds an additional layer of assurance to our wireless charging products.
