Tokyo, Japan— —2020year12Month2Day——BASF and two Japanese companiesZMP、B&PlusUnitedDeveloped a conceptual self-service wireless chargerMobiPOWER to meet the growing demand for charging infrastructure solutions.

ZMPCompanyFounder and Chief Executive Officer Tsune Taniguchi (Hisashi Taniguchi)Dr. said:"to2025In 2025, there will be more than 2025 including mobile phones and electric cars750100 million interconnected devices need to be charged, and MobiPOWERSuch a reliable charger can help us meet market demand.MobiPOWER The charging solution is flexible and convenient, the structure is stable, and it can be equipped with5G , Internet of Things and artificial intelligence-related complex components and sensors, while the charger can also work in harsh outdoor conditions. BASF inspires my creativity and opens up possibilities for our robot development. ”

In addition to automatic charging In addition to the technical challenges faced by the solution, the wireless charging of MobiPOWER The concept also required the expertise and design support of the BASF Co-Creation Center in high-performance materials to make the charging process more reliable and meet the highest safety standards.

B&PlusCompany President and Chief Executive OfficerAtsushi Kameda (Atsushi Kameda)Say:" Wireless charging involves multiple considerations. By combining our technology and expertise, we are creating a new future”
