Introduction to Kinetic

Road
Kinetic Road is an innovative pavement technology that converts the motion of
vehicles and pedestrians into renewable energy. By harnessing the kinetic energy
of movement, Kinetic Road aims to revolutionize urban infrastructure and power
the cities of the future.
What is Kinetic Road?
Kinetic Road is a pavement system composed of specialized tiles that contain piezoelectric materials. As vehicles
and pedestrians pass over the tiles, the movement generates an electrical charge that can be stored and used to
power surrounding infrastructure. This technology creates a self-sustaining, eco-friendly solution for urban areas.
