Cavotec launches ultra-fast Megawatt Charging System for battery-powered vehicles

Heralding a major breakthrough in industrial e-vehicle and e-vessel charging, global engineering group Cavotec has launched its ultra-fast Megawatt Charging System (MCS). Providing up to 3MW of power from a single connector, the MCS is a turnkey DC charging solution with grid-to-inlet functionality that supports the decarbonisation of industrial vehicles and ships.

“MCS enables the safe and quick connection of heavy-duty vehicles and ships to electrical power in a reliable, ergonomic unit. As the most powerful system on the market, MCS significantly reduces typical charging times, thereby minimising downtime,” says Jörn Bullert, Vice President Product Management, Charging Solutions.

The MCS has been designed for use with all kinds of heavy-duty vehicles used in a variety of sectors, including agriculture, construction, mining; and with e-vessels such as ferries.

MCS highlights Cavotec’s leading position in the development of large-scale industrial battery charging solutions and technologies that will enable industries to decarbonise and reduce their environmental impact. Cavotec has led the electrification of industrial applications for many years. Learn more about MCS here.

The MCS system will be officially launched on 24 October at Bauma, the world’s leading construction machinery trade fair.
