Cleantech REPS gets $23.6M to turn road traffic into clean electricity at scale

REPS patented technology converts vehicle traffic into electrical energy. In 6 months since first it has generated over 6,700 kWh of electricity from real traffic conditions.

Tyrol, Austria – May 22: Every day, enormous amounts of energy are lost through motion, pressure, and vibration. On roads, that loss is constant, predictable, and concentrated in the same places over and over again: entrances, exits, curves, speed-limited zones, loading areas, and any point where heavy vehicles naturally slow down. REPS was built to recover that wasted mechanical energy and convert it into clean electricity at scale, using infrastructure that already exists.

Today, REPS announced a $23.6M equity financing round to scale its Road Energy Production System, a patented “road power plant” that converts vehicle traffic into electrical energy.

What REPS is building 

REPS stands for Road Energy Production System. Its core product is a patented road power plant that installs directly into existing road infrastructure and harvests energy from trucks and cars driving over it, without disrupting traffic flow or logistics operations.

The technology is particularly effective where vehicles naturally slow down or brake, or where slopes create additional force. REPS is initially targeting ports, logistics hubs, cities, industrial sites, and other high-traffic infrastructure operators that want to reduce energy costs while improving sustainability.

“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. 

REPS says its converter delivers 254x higher efficiency than the next-best alternative currently on the market, and unlike weather-dependent renewables, the system operates independently of time of day and weather conditions.

Why this matters 

Most renewable energy has focused on generating new power through solar and wind. REPS takes a different approach by recovering energy that’s already being wasted. The company’s first application is roads, where the energy lost through traffic alone could theoretically cover around 5% of global electricity demand.

The broader opportunity sits inside a category called energy harvesting, converting lost mechanical impulses into usable electricity. REPS believes the reason energy harvesting hasn’t become a major force in the energy transition is straightforward: existing mechanical converters have historically failed on efficiency and durability, which makes the economics fall apart. REPS had to reinvent the energy converter itself to unlock a system that can operate under heavy traffic conditions for more than 20 years and amortize within years.

Proof in the field

The first commercial REPS system has been operating at the Port of Hamburg since November 2025. Since then, more than 115,000 trucks have crossed the system, generating over 6,700 kWh of electricity from real traffic conditions.

The Hamburg deployment has translated into strong international demand. Following the launch, the company is engaged with over 90 parties from the port industry alone, spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America, and it says interest has now expanded beyond ports to logistics hubs and cities.

REPS also shared internal projections for what scale could look like. A rollout of around 230 systems across the Port of Hamburg’s public roads, excluding terminals, could generate approximately 10 GWh of electricity per year, enough to power around 2,800 households, and offset roughly 9.81% of the CO₂ emissions caused by port traffic. The return on investment in that scenario would be below four years.

On a city scale, the company estimates that deploying around 64,000 systems in a city the size of Dubai could recover approximately 3.2 TWh of electricity annually, equivalent to about 10.8% of the city’s total energy consumption today. 

Justin Karnbach, CEO of Hamburger Container Service GmbH, said ” The installation at our facility demonstrates the potential of REPS: where vehicles have to brake anyway, clean energy is recovered and can be used directly where we need it. Without any interference with traffic and without additional space.”

Jens Maier, CEO HPA and President of the International Association of Ports and Harbors, added: “We can’t wait to see REPS in action – not just in the Port of Hamburg, but throughout the city and far beyond, all over the world. The Port of Hamburg aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2040. HPA actively supports this ambition by implementing innovative technologies. REPS is a future-orientated technology that generates electricity from previously unused energy sources, making a significant contribution toward achieving climate neutrality. With its high volume of truck movements and its role as a central logistics hub, the Port of Hamburg offers ideal conditions to test technologies like REPS under real-world conditions.”

The origin story

REPS was founded after Alfons Huber dropped out of his physics degree and spent 6.5 years developing the technology while defending his inventor rights against two universities. That work ultimately led to what REPS describes as the world’s first operational road power plant, now running at the Port of Hamburg.

“We spent six years developing the technology. Now the scaling phase begins. The strong demand from ports and logistics operators worldwide confirms the need for our solution, and with this financing round we can now scale at the speed required by the energy transition,” added Alfons Huber.

What’s next

Longer term, REPS sees roads as the first proof point for a broader energy-harvesting platform. The ambition is to turn high-traffic infrastructure into decentralized power assets, capturing energy that’s already being wasted and making it economically meaningful at scale wherever high masses move at high frequency.

Elisabeth Zehetner, State Secretary for Energy, Startups and Tourism, said “Start-ups are no longer a side topic, they are the innovation lab of our economy. This is where technologies like REPS from Austria are created. REPS is innovation made in Austria and showcases what our founders are capable of: they don’t just make small adjustments; they transform entire systems. A road becomes a power plant, and existing infrastructure becomes a building block for a sustainable future. Our role in politics is clear: we must ensure that start-ups find the right framework conditions in Austria. With the Start-up Umbrella Fund, we aim to make sure that innovation is financed, developed, and scaled here in Austria and Europe instead of eventually returning to us as an import from the U.S. or Asia”

Kore.ai Launches Artemis, the New Generation of the Kore.ai Agent Platform for Building, Governing, and Optimizing Enterprise AI

Agent Blueprint Language™ (ABL) compounds returns and compresses agent delivery from months to days 

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 21, 2026 — Kore.ai, the global leader in agentic platforms and applications, today launched the new-generation Kore.ai Agent Platform Artemis edition, the AI-programmable, AI-native foundation that builds, governs, and optimizes the agents, systems, and workflows running across the enterprise. The platform launches initially on Microsoft Azure, with broader cloud availability to follow. 

The new-generation Agent Platform enables enterprises to deploy production-ready multiagent AI systems in days instead of months, with governance, observability, and operational control enforced before any agent goes live. Three core innovations make the platform fundamentally AI-native: 

Agent Blueprint Language™ (ABL): ABL is a compiled, declarative language that standardizes how AI agents, systems, and workflows are defined, validated, and governed. Six built-in orchestration patterns (supervisor, delegation, handoff, fan-out, escalation, and agent-to-agent federation) enable resilient, production-grade multiagent systems at scale. 

Arch™: Kore.ai’s AI agent architect translates business objectives into production-ready ABL, supports the full agent lifecycle, designs the underlying agent topology, and continuously refines agents using real-world production traces. 

Dual-Brain Architecture: Two cognitive engines (combining agentic reasoning and deterministic flows) operate in parallel through shared memory, authored in a unified language and governed by a single runtime. 

The platform operates independently of the model, keeping AI systems predictable, auditable, and scalable from experimentation to production-grade operations. 

“Enterprise AI is entering its third wave, where governance, observability, and trust define success at scale,” said Raj Koneru, CEO and Founder, Kore.ai. “The Kore.ai Agent Platform reflects this shift by bringing an AI-native architecture to market that enables enterprises to build, manage, and optimize multiagent systems with confidence. This level of depth comes from a decade of delivering AI experiences in complex, regulated environments, where scale, compliance, and reliability are non-negotiable.” 

The Business Case: AI Building, Governing, and Optimizing AI 

ABL and Arch put AI in charge of every stage of the agent lifecycle: 

• AI building AI. Arch generates production-ready agents from plain-language objectives, writes them in ABL, and validates them before deployment. Agents that once required months of bespoke engineering now ship in days as compiled, reviewable blueprints.
• AI governing AI. Every decision, path, and outcome is logged, traced, and analyzed by AI in real-time. Deterministic constraints and flow controls are enforced by the platform itself, not left to the agent.
• AI optimizing AI. The platform learns from production signals and recommends specific improvements as reviewable optimizations, with human oversight built in. 

“To scale AI with confidence, enterprises need a standardized agent building system and the enforcement of robust governance,” said Vaibhav Bansal, Vice President at Everest Group. “Kore.ai’s strong investments in advancing agentic AI capabilities and governance, combined with a consistent focus on delivering measurable business outcomes, have positioned Kore.ai as a Leader in the Agentic AI Products PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026.” 

What This Means for Today’s CIO, CISO, and CFO 

The Kore.ai Agent Platform changes what enterprise AI delivers, what it costs, and what it can be trusted to do: 

• For the CIO, AI becomes manageable and accelerated. The platform consolidates fragmented third-party and home-grown agents into one foundation and accelerates delivery from quarters to days across every department and business unit.
• For the CISO, AI behavior becomes predictable. Governance is enforced at the platform layer, outside the model’s control. Every agent action and policy decision is logged, timestamped, and traceable to a specific regulatory control.
• For the CFO, AI investment compounds. Arch, ABL, and the runtime are shared infrastructure across every agent, so the marginal cost of the Nth agent approaches the cost of authoring its blueprint. Every model upgrade improves every agent already running.

Microsoft Azure: Initial Launch Partner 

The Kore.ai Agent Platform launches initially on Microsoft Azure and is built natively on the Microsoft Azure stack across compute, identity, AI, and security. For Global 2000 enterprises already standardized on the Microsoft stack, the platform integrates with Microsoft Foundry, Microsoft Agent 365, Entra ID, and the Microsoft Graph API, and powers a native Microsoft Teams channel through the Azure Bot Framework. Kore.ai is also a launch partner for Agent 365. 

“Enterprises are moving agentic AI from experimentation to operations, and that shift requires a foundation built for production. The Kore.ai Agent Platform integrates with Microsoft Foundry and Microsoft Agent 365, giving customers a governed environment to build, deploy, and operate AI agents with the identity, security, and observability that Microsoft customers expect,” said Stephen Boyle, CVP, Enterprise Partner Solutions, Microsoft. 

Customers Say 

“We’ve had early visibility into the Kore.ai Agent Platform, and the architectural rigor stands out. Compiled blueprints, governance in a separate deterministic layer, and one language for every agent are the design choices enterprise AI has been missing.” – Keyur Parikh, Head of Workplace Technology Strategies and Services, Vanguard 

“The question every enterprise is asking is how to move AI from pilot to production without creating compliance exposure. What stood out about Kore is that governance is architectural, not an afterthought. That is what it takes to get AI approved for the work that actually matters.” – Arunkumar Ramakrishnan, Director of Enterprise Technology, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts

Built for the Global 2000 

The platform meets enterprise security, compliance, and deployment requirements from day one: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS certified; FedRAMP Moderate Authorized; HIPAA-aligned; HiTrust and GDPR compliant. Real-time PII tokenization, tenant isolation, and immutable audit trails apply to every agent action. Customers deploy in public cloud, sovereign regions, private cloud, or on-premises, with data residency by region. The platform supports 40+ voice and digital channels and 300+ integrations across Microsoft A365, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, GitHub, and core banking, healthcare, retail, and telecom systems. 

For more than a decade, Kore.ai has been one of the world’s leading providers and pioneers of AI-native enterprise software, enabling 500+ Global 2000 organizations to run mission-critical business workflows, including some of the largest names in banking, healthcare, insurance, retail, and global service operations.

Enterprise AI is burning tokens without context and teams are paying the price

• Precision: answers sourced from real business data, cited and referenced so teams can stand behind them. 
• Efficiency: trusted answers at lower cost, lower token usage, no analyst required, full context on the first response. 
• Safety: nothing goes out before a human approves it, with full audit trails and the ability to undo any agent action. 

• Shared Memory: personal, team, and organizational memory that compounds over time
• Trusted Answers: intent-aware search and consistent data answers. Same question, same answer, every time. Computer doesn’t guess – it knows, and it shows its work.
• Safe Actions: governed, auditable actions across your systems. Computer acts on your behalf with guardrails, so teams move faster without risk.
• Multiplayer AI: shared live sessions for human-to-human, human-to-AI, and team-wide collaboration
• Skills – reusable workflows that any team can build, share, and deploy. One person’s expertise becomes everyone’s capability. Agent Studio allows users to build and deploy AI agents with sandboxed testing, full audit trails, and rollback

• Text2SQL: analytical queries across structured data in plain language, no data analyst required
• Connectors: Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion, Google Drive, Jira, Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and any MCP-compatible tool
• Usage-based pricing: that scales with adoption and not headcount

• Across web, mobile, and desktop. Use Computer from any device.
