Alpitronic Dispenser Depot for bus and truck fleets

Alpitronic Dispenser Depot: the company from Bolzano offers a refueling solution designed for bus and truck depots. Where it’s not the peak refueling demands that make the difference.

Alpitronic Dispenser Depot: power? Something more is needed…

"Depending on how they operate, fleets of electric buses and trucks place different demands on charging infrastructure," explains Alpitronic. "On roads, they need to quickly regain their range; on long-distance routes, they require charging at megawatt levels." These are areas in which the company from Bolzano has been working for years, establishing a strong position in Europe and the US. But what about in depots, when buses and trucks are stationary for hours? Here, reliable charging during scheduled downtime is needed." Factors such as network connection capacity, vehicle downtime, available charging windows, and fleet growth determine exactly how much energy is required. "And when and at which charging station," explains Alpitronic, proposing a solution with interconnected depot charging stations. It’s a decentralized system.

HYC1000 distributes the available energy to multiple points based on demand.

"Charging must be reliable and cost-effective."

This allows operators to initially size their infrastructure around their existing fleet. And to expand it as new vehicles are added or operational needs change. At the same time, dynamic energy distribution helps to make efficient use of the available network connection capacity. This can be particularly useful in logistics and bus depots, where additional network capacity is often limited or only becomes available after long lead times. This thus facilitates further electrification of fleets. “For fleet operators, the goal is not to provide maximum power at every charging point. What matters is charging vehicles reliably and cost-effectively, in line with their operational schedules and downtime,” says Philipp Senoner, CEO of Alpitronic.

Diverse mounting options: on the wall, on a pedestal...

The depot dispenser supports various mounting options, allowing it to be adapted to different space conditions at a site. It can be installed on a wall, on a pedestal or elevated, on a portal, or suspended from the ceiling. A range of authentication options supports both regular charging for an operator’s fleet and charging for guest vehicles. This enables selective access control and the accommodation of different user groups. It operates across a voltage range of 150 to 1,000 V, with an output current of up to 400 A and a maximum charging power of up to 400 kW. The required power is supplied by the HYC1000 Central Cabinet, which operates with an efficiency of over 98%. It features 8 outlets that can be combined with different dispensers as needed. When used exclusively with Depot Dispensers, it

They can support up to 8 CCS charging ports.
