Kempower to supply electric bus fleet fast charging technology to Bergkvarabuss AB

January 10, 2024

Kempower, a manufacturer of DC fast charging solutions for electric vehicles and machines, has been selected to provide electric bus fleet fast charging solutions for Bergkvarabuss AB’s electric bus depot in Strängnäs, Sweden. The charging infrastructure is part of a comprehensive delivery that SCANIA is providing to Bergkvarabuss. The delivery will include Kempower Satellite and Kempower Power Unit fast charging solutions, as well as the Kempower ChargEye Depot master.

The Kempower EV fast chargers will be connected through the Kempower ChargEye Depot master, a unique remote control platform designed for electric bus depots. This platform allows for real-time monitoring and control of charging, with the ability to dynamically distribute available power to the buses that require charging the most.

The fast charging stations for the bus depot will be delivered, installed, and commissioned by Wennström on behalf of SCANIA. Wennström is a Nordic supplier specializing in energy storage, distribution, and replenishment.

Henrik Eng, Sales Director for buses at SCANIA, stated, “With the choice of Wennström, we got an excellent combination of a technically advanced charging system and a professionally executed contract.”

Tomi Ristimäki, CEO of Kempower, added, “This is a great continuum for our Nordic co-operation in electrifying public transport in Sweden. We are pleased to deliver fast charging solutions that ensure an easy and reliable charging experience. With the ChargEye Depot Master, the depot power requirements are automatically optimized to minimum, while ensuring on-time bus preconditioning for departure.”
