Fast, safe and space-saving charging of electric trucks

Fully automatic underbody charging system for e-logistics trucks

Rising energy costs and increasingly restrictive environmental regulations are forcing many logistics and transportation companies to act more sustainably. Electromobility offers itself as a lever here, but at the same time brings with it new challenges. In order for the use of electric logistics trucks to contribute to greater energy efficiency and cost reduction in the company, transport companies must carefully examine which parameters can be changed. Fast, safe and space-saving charging of e-trucks is a crucial point here - and Schunk offers an innovative solution for precisely this with its fully automatic underbody solution.

Underbody Charger for logistics trucks

The fuel pump of the future is in the ground

With the Underbody Charger, Schunk has developed a fully automatic charging system that sets new standards. Bulky charging columns and error-prone charging cables are nowhere to be found here. The underbody solution consists of a charging system sunk into the road surface and an interface built into the vehicle floor as a counterpart. If the logistics truck drives over the charging system, charging starts fully automatically with an extremely high power transmission of up to 1 megawatt. The Underbody Charger thus enables fast, safe and efficient recharging without touching a cable.

Advantages when charging your logistics trucks

Strengths of the underbody solution compared to the plug-in

The fully automatic underbody loading system is space-saving, simple and safe. It complies with DIN EN 61851-23-1 and ISO15118 and meets all relevant design standards and basic safety regulations. To ensure a high system voltage, the contact systems are designed to be particularly safe and reliable. This includes protection against accidental contact, the prevention of electric arcs and unwanted heating as well as fused charging sequence control. There are further advantages compared to a plug-in solution:

Up to 1 megawatt charging power - resulting in shorter downtimes and around ten charging processes on one contact system per hour
Space-saving - no charging stations required in the loading depot
Error-proof - no manual operation, no charging cables
A hands-free alternative to the MCS (Megawatt Charging System)
Secure connectivity - integrated vehicle detection system and integrated parking tolerance compensation +/- 60 mm
Easy to retrofit - as a passive module, the interface can be easily and cost-effectively integrated into the logistics truck
