MEGA: Charging infrastructure for e-trucks
Electromobility is a central pillar of the energy transition. Company fleets are also increasingly being converted to climate-friendly drive systems. This is also the case for our long-standing customer MEGA Logistik & Service in Rechterfeld.
The PHW subsidiary has begun the climate-friendly conversion of its vehicle fleet and purchased two electric trucks. A logical consequence of their exemplary commitment to sustainability. Since mid-2023, for example, a third of the electricity required outside the PHW headquarters has already been covered by a solar park we built. Right next to the 21,000 square metre PV system, our Visbek team has now also implemented the charging infrastructure for the two e-trucks. A technical extension of our Networked Energy Solutions (NES) business model at the company location with a model character in terms of sustainable infrastructure.
Sebastian Wigger, Team Leader for Energy Technology and Building Automation, outlines a convincing argument for the customer: “From the overall planning to the civil engineering work, delivery of the transformer station, design and extension of the grid connection and installation of the DC charging infrastructure, we were able to deliver all the necessary components in full.” However, his team was able not just to offer all services from a single source, but also to realise the charging infrastructure faster than current market conditions thanks to good networking and warehouse planning.
An additional speciality is our comprehensive approach: “We integrated the two 400kW DC chargers into the stock power control system of the animal feed mill via a control system in order to save the customer downstream costs,” explains Wigger. A real pioneering project, the advantages of which we have often presented to other interested companies on site.
From the overall planning to the civil engineering work, delivery of the transformer station, design and extension of the grid connection and installation of the DC charging infrastructure, we supplied all the necessary components.
