Point of Energy
The first multifunctional station
POE Station
The tool for a truly versatile mobility
In late 2018, Flymove has presented the first concept of the revolutionary POE Station (Point of Energy), also in the Mobile version, unique in its kind for design, operation and technical characteristics. It was conceived and designed in various versions and dimensions to achieve levels of building and environmental impact close to zero, as it uses Bio materials and recycles all its waste and emissions. In fact, the station was designed to autonomously generate the largest possible amount of renewable energy with which the batteries are then charged. This allows the station to provide support to electric land and air vehicles, both those using fast charging stations and those equipped with BSS.
The POE station will also be able to produce hydrogen "on demand" for specific vehicles and will be able to store energy in fuel cells. Finally, the POE station will be the only one of its kind to allow the landing of VTOL passengers drones.
A vision of mobility years in advance
Transforming ideas into reality by innovating and overturning the schemes
When the Flymove project was born, we immediately wondered how it was possible to give a completely new imprint to an indispensable object in the mobility chain, but which until then has always been anchored to rigid structural and functional concepts which have always limited the potential.
This weakness is more evident today, with the unstoppable advent of sustainable mobility which requires a radical change of vision of infrastructures.
In the case of the POE station, we started from the Flymove logo, the butterfly - a symbol of transformation and beauty - which, due to its design and configuration, seemed to be the ideal starting point for designing a station of the future.
The process of ideation and technical conception of the Station required a lot of time and discussions between several professionals in the sector, and was made concrete by the Italian architect and designer Maurizio Parolari, who was able to best interpret not only the futuristic vision of Flymove but also the functional and operational needs essential for the Station to be a fully functional and economically sustainable tool.
A multifunctional and environmentally friendly Station
A long series of requirements for a demanding client
The design of the POE Station necessarily had to take into account a long series of technical and functional requirements which were and still are indispensable for Flymove, such as for example:
- Use of zero impact materials, coming from recycling and recyclable in turn.
- The Station must be easily installed in a short time, and it must likewise be dismantled and removed.
- It must not emit any type of waste or scrap, inorganic or organic, no emissions to water or air.
- All rainwater from the entire site where the Station is installed must be recoverable.
- Use of the best recovery and treatment technologies, such as phyto-purification for gray and black waters.
- It must use several sources of renewable energy installed on site - solar, wind, solar concentrators, and which in combination must guarantee at least 50% of its energy needs.
- The remaining necessary energy must be certified as coming from renewable sources.
- The Station must be multifunctional: it is able to perform battery swaps, to recharge plug-in EV vehicles and soon also to refuel Hydrogen.
- It must be able to accommodate cars, motorbikes, bicycles and any other vehicle that moves with renewable energy - in the future also E-VTOL type aircrafts.
- The production of hydrogen must be performed on-site in the same station, eliminating logistics and storage.
- It must be able to function as automatically as possible, limiting the use of personnel as much as possible.
- It must offer the same services to users as in standard stations, e.g. bar, internet point, children hospitality, car parks, car wash, etc.
Moving from the concept to the project and to the realization
The first POE Station prototype is on its way
Flymove has allocated an important budget for the construction of the first POE Station, which will be built within the first months of 2024, will be located in Italy and will be fully functional according to its specific operational requirements.
The POE Stations will be set up in 3 different sizes, according to their positioning - urban or extra-urban - and traffic flows. A "Mobile" version of the station is also being studied, positioned on a 40" trailer with an electric or hydrogen drive, which will greatly facilitate the expansion of road coverage.
Important updates on POE Stations will follow soon.
