What BRUSA Elektronik does

BRUSA Elektronik AG is a privately held Swiss power electronics company founded in 1985 by Josef Brusa, headquartered in Buchs with production in Sennwald and engineering in Munich. The company focuses on the development and production of inductive (wireless) charging systems for electric vehicles, anchored by its proprietary FRAME® technology and the ICS (Inductive Charging System), an 11 kW wireless charger with >90% efficiency, ISO 26262 functional safety compliance, and the distinction of being the first and only product certified to IEC 61980. BRUSA's broader portfolio includes on-board chargers (NLG6/NLG664), DC/DC converters (BSC624, DMC534), hybrid synchronous motors (HSM1), drivetrain components (DTSP1), and battery systems (EVB1-400-40), as well as engineering and licensing services around its inductive charging IP. The business operates as a tier-1/tier-2 supplier to automotive OEMs and vehicle integrators under an enterprise field sales model, with documented engagements including BMW (series production of inductive charging since 2018), Porsche (HV booster for the Taycan), Kreisel Electric (Mercedes Sprinter powertrain), Kyburz (eRod), and E-FORCE (electric trucks). BRUSA generates revenue through hardware sales of EV components and systems, professional engineering services, and licensing of its FRAME technology, with a production facility designed for up to 10,000 units per year and operations approved across EU, China, North America, and Japan markets. In October 2024 the company completed a minority growth equity private placement with international strategic and financial investors to fund expansion in Asia and North America.

Core offering

BRUSA Elektronik AG develops and manufactures inductive (wireless) charging systems for electric vehicles, including the ICS and ICS 1 Wireless Power Transfer Systems built on its proprietary FRAME® technology. The systems deliver 11 kW of charging power at greater than 90% efficiency and are sold directly to automotive OEMs and electric vehicle integrators. The company also licenses its FRAME technology and supplies engineering, validation, and consulting services from concept through series production.

Product overview

BRUSA Elektronik AG specializes in the development and production of inductive (wireless) charging systems for automotive applications. The company's primary product is the ICS (Inductive Charging System) based on proprietary FRAME® technology, which enables automatic wireless charging of electric vehicles without manual plug-in. The ICS 1 is the first and only wireless power transfer product certified according to IEC 61980. The company operates as part of the broader BRUSA group, alongside sister companies BRUSA HyPower AG (on-board chargers, DC/DC converters) and BRUSA Technology AG (e-Drive and power electronics engineering services), though BRUSA Elektronik AG's specific focus is on next-generation inductive charging systems.
