INTIS provides consulting, engineering and testing services to vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, municipalities and infrastructure operators. Its particular strength is rapidly delivering the complete process from ideas to functioning technology. INTIS is especially recognised for taking wireless charging out of the laboratory and into real-world demonstrators, such as the BMWi-funded TALAKO project (public-space inductive charging for electric taxis) and the Interreg-funded Kontaktlo(o)s Laden project (inductive charging for e-bikes and autonomous shuttles). This is backed by a comprehensive in-house test infrastructure: an interoperability testbed, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and field-exposure laboratories, and machine shops. INTIS also actively contributes to and shapes the international standards that underpin interoperable wireless charging worldwide.

In PULSE, INTIS leads the design and validation of the wireless charging technology at the core of the system. INTIS develops the ground-side inverter, the magnetic coil and pad assemblies, and the overall control and safety architecture.
