SUPPLY CHAIN LOGISTICS
The joint venture will work quickly to scale-up operations and network deployment to provide reliable and convenient public charging for heavy-duty vehicles .
Demand for battery electric trucks and coaches is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years , and the joint venture will work collaboratively across industries to design and build charging solutions that match the needs of transport companies and drivers .
Megawatt Charging System ( MCS ) on the horizon At the 35th Electric Vehicle Symposium in June , the MCS was introduced when a Alpitronic-charger was connected to a Scania-truck , with the new standardised connector for MCS and simulating charging at 1-2MW . This technology will enable electric trucks going forward without disrupting the logistic flows on the European and North American transport network .
“ The MCS is a milestone for especially long haulage trucks , where driving and rest times needs to be kept ,” said Fredrik Allard , Head of E-mobility , Scania . “ So that means driving for up to five hours and resting for 45 minutes . That will need both quick charging and high capacity due to battery size .”
The MSC will work up to 3,000amps and 1,25kV to deliver up to 3.75MW power when charging .
