Technotrans has developed a bespoke cooling solution for the ChargePost battery-buffered fast-charging station from ADS-TEC Energy. In addition to the power electronics and the battery storage system, the technology from the thermal management specialist will also cool the two advertising displays, which are up to 75-inches in size, on the outside of the charging station. The order, with a total volume in the single-digit million euro range, is the largest with serial character for Technotrans in the field of electromobility. As a battery-based solution, ChargePost enables powerful charging of up to 300 kW even in locations where high-voltage grids are not present – such as at petrol stations, shopping centres or company car parks.
The cooling solution will be manufactured at the new Technotrans site in Steinhagen over the next 12 months. In April, the thermal management specialist from Sassenberg will put the plant into operation, with a view to expanding its capacities in the electromobility sector in particular. Under modern production conditions with optimised material flow, Technotrans now manufactures there on the basis of the principles of lean production.
Commenting on the order, Michael Finger, Spokesman of the Board of Management at Technotrans SE, said, This order is a milestone in the history of Technotrans and underlines our competence as a supplier for electromobility applications.
