TUAL, a specialist in electric commercial-vehicle charging solutions, has announced its PowerBank Pro-Charging system for electric HGVs.
The need for public megawatt charging infrastructure is a significant hurdle for eHGVs, leaving fleet operators and logistics companies with limitations on current charging solutions.
TUAL aims to address this gap with its 120kWH and 180kWH swappable power bank solutions. These solutions will maximise vehicle uptime while ensuring route flexibility and extending an eHGV’s stem mileage by up to 120 miles, depending on the application.
Developed in collaboration with some of Europe’s largest fleet operators, TUAL’s swappable power banks offer a modular and scalable solution that can seamlessly integrate into existing HGV platforms. This technology enables haulage fleet operators to maintain continuous operations without relying on the UK’s underdeveloped charging infrastructure.
Philip Clarke, CEO and Founder of TUAL emphasises this innovation’s importance: “The transition to electric heavy goods vehicles is essential for achieving our environmental targets, but they are handicapped by limited range. This impacts the use cases and routes they can operate on, as the current charging infrastructure is not scaled for heavy goods vehicles. Our swappable PowerBanks are designed to bridge this gap, providing a reliable and flexible solution that keeps HGV fleets moving. This technology is ready for deployment, offering a viable alternative to the long-mooted and long-delayed public megawatt charging network.”
TUAL’s powerbanks can be swapped out in under five minutes, ensuring that vehicles spend more time on the road and less time charging.
The modular nature of TUAL’s power banks means they can be scaled to meet the specific needs of different eLCV and eHGV fleet sizes and use cases.
By utilising TUAL’s swappable power banks, fleets can operate independently of the existing grid infrastructure and extend their range and operational efficiency.
TUAL is an innovator in electric commercial-vehicle charging solutions, building and deploying high-performance powerbanks to recharge and range-extend electric vehicles.
The business works with enterprise customers across Europe to deliver technology that transforms their productivity, profitability and utilisation.
TUAL overcomes grid and vehicle constraints with scalable, modular solutions that allow fleets to control charging operations – freeing them from reliance on public charging infrastructure. We focus on hard-to-charge emissions – from commercial vehicles (electric vans, eHGV) to blue-light, motorsport and defence.
