Optare and Aircharge – a global leader in wireless charging solutions – have announced the deployment of the Aircharge mobile phone wireless charging system on Optare’s buses, including the Metrodecker and Versa.
Transdev Blazefield is already providing Aircharge on its fleet of Optare Versas for Mainline, Aireline, and soon, Rosso’s 464. Reading Buses has also confirmed its intent to incorporate Aircharge into its bespoke high-specific Metrodecker for its Green Line, with completion due next summer.
The Aircharge wireless charging units are table mounted, allowing passengers to easily and conveniently top up any Qi certified mobile device by simply placing it on top of the charger, without the need of plugging a cable or adapter.
“Wireless charging is the future of charging mobile phones and Aircharge is the perfect partner to drive this innovation in the transport sector” said Robert Drewery, Commercial Director at Optare.
