There are some high-level commonalities between the rail and automotive industry, e.g. both are enabling transportation and help to move our globalizing world. The gap between developing a train and a car however is significant. The electrification of private transport has spanned an interesting bridge between both industries for PowerTech Converter.
PowerTech Converter decided to use the leading technology from its PowerBriX family to pursue the step towards a DC-Fast Charging Station with 50kW. This is our way to support e-mobility worldwide.
Our first product is a charging station which enables fast-charging for your daily urban commute in only 5 minutes and supports all current and coming standards such as CCS, CHAdeMO and Type 2. Charging of two cars in parallel increases availability of charging points.
For decades PowerTech proven technological leadership within the railway industry and is used to fulfill challenging regulated reliability requirements. This helps us to outperform the normative, economic and qualitative requirements of automotive DC fast charging infrastructure.
We used our state-of-the-art embedded system and adapted it to the needs of the fast charging infrastructure market. Remote Access with the possibility to collect real time diagnostic data enables us to support any predictive maintenance requirement and increases reliability of our systems.
Since we see vast potential in e-mobility we started to leverage this first step to broaden the “Power to Road” portfolio up to 10 Mega Watt charging-parks. That solution can include power storage capabilities to optimize use of regenerative power sources or idle power of conventional power stations.
Our existing production capabilities will enable PowerTech to deliver in large scale.
