Volvo Truck and Bus Centre gets high power charging

Volvo Truck and Bus Centre London North in Enfield has become the latest HGV site in the UK to feature Dynamic Load Management (DLM) technology from Evolt Charging, which ensures the constant availability of power to charge Volvo’s new generation of trucks. 
 
Evolt’s DLM, which is being used in conjunction with a battery energy storage solution from Connected Energy, ensures sufficient power is always available to charge trucks through new high-power charging (HPC) units as well as the AC and DC charging points installed.  
 
The systems has been exhaustively tested at Volvo Head Quarters in Gothenburg for its suitability and compatibility to the Volvo truck proposition. It means truck dealers nationwide can be assured of the support they can provide to new customers making the transition to an electric future. 
 
The DLM solution not only helps dealerships to optimise the distribution of energy between the Evolt EV chargers. In conjunction with Connected Energy’s battery storage solution, it also enables Volvo to install additional charging units on site without the need to secure additional energy capacity. The DLM system recognises unused capacity at one charger and distributes it to another, allowing other trucks to charge at an optimal rate.  
 
Justin Meyer, Managing Director of SWARCO Smart Charging, which owns Evolt – said: “For Volvo Trucks, this combination of technologies is a genuine game-changer in accelerating the introduction of the next generation of trucks, unencumbered by any challenges of grid capacity. We are pleased to support their mission to accelerate the roll out of specialist truck charging solutions across their UK dealerships.” 
 
The launch of the new solution at Volvo Truck and Bus Centre London North follows the successful launch of a similar solution, including DLM and battery energy storage, installed at Volvo Truck and Bus Centre North and Scotland in Carlisle last year.
