Kempower Unveils Innovative Electric Robot Bus for Enhanced Efficiency, Automation, and Sustainability in Operations

  • The electric robot bus is used to transport goods between Kempower’s two factories in Lahti.
  • Benefits of the electric robot bus introduction include enhanced production efficiency, emission reductions, reduced storage reliance, optimized processes, highlighting Finland’s electric tech expertise.
  • The bus was delivered by the Finnish robot vehicle operator Remoted.

Kempower has recently integrated an advanced electric robot bus at their Lahti headquarters and production facility. This autonomous bus is strategically employed for the internal transportation of goods between Kempower’s two manufacturing sites in Lahti. Traditionally, the movement of power modules between these factories has been managed by truck transports. However, this innovative robot bus, supplied by Finnish robotic vehicle specialist Remoted, is set to take over these logistic operations, marking a significant step towards modernizing and streamlining Kempower’s internal transport processes.

Kempower Solutions: Powering Up the World’s Largest Fast-Charging Plaza for Electric Trucks and Off-Highway Vehicles

Kempower solutions now available at the world’s largest fast-charging plaza for electric trucks and off-highway vehicles

  • WattHub, the world’s largest fast-charging plaza for electric trucks and off-highway vehicles, has officially opened in the Netherlands. 
  • The site features six 600kW Kempower Power Units and 36 Kempower Satellites, delivering a total capacity of 3.6MW.
  • TSG Netherlands designed and built the entire WattHub charging plaza, including supplying and installing the Kempower chargers.

Kempower has supplied its fast-charging solutions for WattHub, which has officially opened in the Dutch town of Geldermalsen. The facility, the world’s largest fast-charging plaza for electric trucks and off-highway vehicles, was designed and built by TSG Netherlands. The King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, attended the opening event of the charging plaza on Thursday, September 28, 2023.

The establishment of WattHub signifies a pivotal milestone in advancing the construction industry towards eco-friendly, zero-emission technology driven by renewable energy sources.

At WattHub, the Kempower charging system boasts an impressive 3.6MW total capacity, comprising six 600kW Kempower Power Units and 36 Kempower Satellites. These satellites are organized into groups of six, providing charging capabilities ranging from 25kW to 400kW – the fastest charging speeds available in the Netherlands. Situated conveniently between Rotterdam and the German highway, the Geldermalsen location is poised to become a crucial stopover for electric truck drivers in the years ahead.

Kempower has further contributed its Kempower ChargEye Depot Master charging management software to WattHub, a cloud-based system that ensures secure charging monitoring and management. It optimizes electricity costs and dynamically allocates power to the chargers, effectively eliminating any risk of overcapacity.

TSG Netherlands played a pivotal role in designing and constructing the entire WattHub charging plaza. This included the supply and installation of Kempower chargers and transformer stations, in addition to overseeing all related electrical infrastructure. Notably, the facility operates exclusively on wind and solar power.
