Austrain REPS Raises $23.6M To Turn Roads Into Power Plants Using Traffic Energy

The system captures wasted kinetic energy from trucks and cars typically lost through motion, pressure, and vibration especially at high-traffic points like entrances, exits, curves, slopes and loading zones where vehicles slow down or brake.

REPS aims to convert this continuously available mechanical energy into clean electricity at scale, targeting ports, logistics hubs, cities and industrial sites to cut energy costs and improve sustainability. Unlike solar or wind, the technology works independently of weather and time of day.

The company claims its converter is up to 254 times more efficient than current alternatives and is designed for long-term durability under heavy traffic.

Its first commercial deployment at the Port of Hamburg has already processed over 115,000 trucks and generated 6,700 kWh since November 2025, attracting strong international interest from over 90 organisations across multiple regions.

“Roads are everywhere. Traffic is everywhere. What was previously wasted energy can now be transformed into clean electricity through REPS,” said  Alfons Huber Founder and CEO of REPS.
