WISE

Digital transportation twin for Wireless charging Infrastructure of Smart city public Electric buses

Budget: €798,656
Funding: €599,993
Duration: 27 months Sept 2025 – Nov 2027
Call: Research and Innovation Foundation CO-DEVELOP Programme CODEVELOP/0824/0305

Overview

Driven by the European Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, the WISE project brings together leading Cypriot partners to develop innovative solutions for climate-neutral and smarter cities. The project addresses key challenges related to transport decarbonisation through the development of a solar-powered wireless charging infrastructure and digital control platform for electric public buses. Building on the foundations established through the EMS4PVBEV project, WISE combines clean energy technologies, advanced digital solutions, and smart mobility intelligence to support the transition towards zero-emission public transport and more sustainable urban environments.
