In recent years, as many countries have made the decarbonization of road transport a priority in their policies to address climate change, the development of transportation electrification has made great progress. Although the increasing number of public charging piles is beneficial to electric vehicle owners, the number of these public charging piles alone cannot meet the charging needs of electric fleets.
In 2022, around 66,000 electric buses were sold worldwide, accounting for around 4.5% of total bus sales. Moreover, the market share of electric buses is rising rapidly, with its market share increasing by 20% in Europe and 27% in United States, and its market share in India is even more than that of United States and Europe combined. China's electric bus market share accounts for about 98% of the world's electric buses [1] .
The rapid development of e-mobility is driving the need for more flexible and efficient charging solutions. In 2023, ABB E-Mobility will showcase its new HVC360 charging solution at the Global Public Transport Summit (UITP) in Barcelona to meet the charging needs of electric buses and fleets, and to support the further development of charging stations.
The new HVC360 charging solution is flexible and can be used in many different types of site layout scenarios. The device can be connected to up to four charging terminals, and the connection distance between the cabinet and the terminal can reach 100 meters. The compact design of the HVC360 allows it to be mounted against each other, side by side or along a wall. In addition, the new charging solution features dynamic charging, which allocates different levels of power to each charging station depending on the number of vehicles being charged or their charging needs. At the same time, the device also supports an interface from the CCS charging standard to the charging bow.
Chris Nordh, Global Head of E-Mobility Fleet & Transportation, ABB, said: "The launch of the HVC360 charging solution demonstrates ABB's commitment to a zero-emission future. This device is well suited to meet the charging needs of bus and truck fleet operators in complex and demanding scenarios. At the same time, we will also support them with decades of rich development experience and flexible and efficient on-site service.
The HVC360 charging solution is not only a high-quality and high-power density, but also a strong flexibility to work with various OEMs (automotive OEMs), making it an international solution. "We are pleased that this device will meet the needs of our customers for applications of different shapes and sizes, helping them to reduce operating costs and carbon emissions, in line with the same electrification trend for heavy-duty vehicles as for passenger vehicles." ”
The HVC360 charging solution has a wide range of potential applications in the transportation industry. In 2022, nearly 60,000 medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks were sold worldwide, accounting for just 1.2% of the overall truck market[2]. As the industry continues to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of up to 47.5% [3]. Global sales of electric trucks are expected to exceed 1.1 million units per year by the end of 2030 [4]. Such a rapid growth rate is critical for countries around the world to meet their transport carbon reduction targets.
The HVC360 charging solution not only has high-quality hardware, but also a matching ABB e-mobility support system that can be used to remotely manage and install a digital toolkit, combined with multiple layers of service and support, to effectively enhance the charging experience of users. In addition, ABB's energy management solutions enable them to achieve optimal charging performance and energy consumption, enabling the efficient operation of electric bus and truck fleets.
The HVC360 charging solution will be available in Europe and North America by the end of September 2023.
