REPS GmbH

The REPS system works in three stages:

Mechanical → Hydraulic → Electrical

1. Mechanical:

   Vehicles pass over the street plate which contains low-stroke triggers. The movement is very minimal (≈1 cm perceived) and comparable to a light road unevenness.

2. Hydraulic:

   Each trigger activates a hydraulic cylinder underneath. The resulting pressure is transmitted via sealed hydraulic lines to a module box located next to the road.

3. Energy conversion:

   Inside the module box, the hydraulic energy drives a patented mechanical energy converter, based on permanent magnetic bearing - the first and only one of its kind in the world. This converts the impulse into electrical energy with hardly any friction and wear (very long lasting / high durability).

   Energy that is generated within the energy converter is passed on to a hybrid inverter, which can either store the energy in a battery system, retrieve energy from the battery when required, supply local infrastructure or export surplus power to the grid.

All critical and maintenance-relevant components are located outside the road, ensuring maximum durability, easy access and no traffic disruption.

REPS contributes to sustainable energy generation by converting mechanical energy from passing vehicles into electricity through road-integrated infrastructure. Its system captures otherwise unused kinetic energy from traffic and transforms it into usable electrical power for local infrastructure, battery storage, or grid supply. By enabling decentralized energy generation without additional land use and by integrating durable low-maintenance components into existing roads, REPS supports renewable energy deployment, resource efficiency, and smart infrastructure development.
