Autonomous electric wheels
ez-Wheel, which designs and sells an innovative and autonomous electric wheel, has been raising funds of € 5.3 million, mainly through the French Environmental Technologies Fund.
The Environmental Technologies Fund, managed by Bpifrance on behalf of the State as part of the Future Investments Program (PIA) entrusted to ADEME, made its seventh investment with ez-Wheel. This investment of € 2.5 million aims to support the commercial development of the company.
ez-Wheel was founded in 2009 by three young engineers with the aim of conceiving an autonomous electric wheel that would assist the mobility of wheeled machinery. With over a thousand of such wheels sold, ez-Wheel is entering a new phase of faster international development.
Each autonomous electric wheel holds within itself its own energy source and motor, this technologically advanced design is unique on this operations-handling market. This “all in one” patented compact assembly is an industrialised product that can be rapidly installed on pre-existing units.
