Efficient conductive charging

Future-proof systems for electric vehicles

Conductive charging is a well-established technology that has been reliably used in electromobility for many years. With the innovative and automated charging systems from the Schunk Group, the charging of electric vehicles becomes even more efficient and user-friendly. These systems provide fast, reliable solutions for energy transfer, supporting the continued advancement of sustainable mobility.

Conductive charging

Technology and offers

Conductive charging is a proven method in which electrical energy is transmitted through physical connections between the charger and the vehicle. This technology enables fast and efficient charging times. In many cases, the process is automated, such as with pantographs. However, when using plug-in charging, a manual connection is still required to initiate the charging process.

Our systems

The Schunk Group offers a wide range of automated conductive charging systems. These include roof-mounted pantographs, underbody chargers and other smart charging products. These systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing infrastructures and are specially designed for use in public transport systems and for commercial vehicles such as electric buses and e-trucks.
