As the most powerful system on the market, MCS significantly reduces typical charging times, thereby minimising downtime,\u201d said J\u00f6rn Bullert, vice president product management, charging solutions, Cavotec.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quicker charging<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The system provides up to 3MW\/hr of power from a single connector, providing a turnkey DC charging solution with grid-to-inlet functionality that supports the decarbonisation of industrial vehicles and ships.<\/p>\n<p>Because it\u2019s an advanced power management system that incorporates user dashboards and controls, it can&nbsp;significantly reduce charging time and maximises uptime compared to existing Combined Charging Systems (CCS).<\/p>\n<p>The system consists of a high-power electronic module,&nbsp;an MCS connector and&nbsp;an MCS inlet as a mating device located on the vehicle. It can operate at three different power levels (350kW, 1MW, 3MW).<\/p>\n<p>It also has an active connector and cable cooling system (included in 1MW and 3MW chargers) and vehicle inlet (included in the 3MW charger).<\/p>\n<p>Cavotec\u2019s MCS has been designed for use with all kinds of heavy-duty vehicles used in a variety of sectors, including agriculture, construction, mining and with e-vessels such as ferries.<\/p>\n<p>The MCS system will be officially launched on 24 October at Bauma, the global construction machinery trade fair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cavotec has launched an ultra-fast Megawatt Charging System for battery-powered vehicles and ships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[125,97,735,734,9,733],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-cavotec","tag-electric-vehicles","tag-mcs","tag-megawatt-charging-system","tag-ports","tag-vehicle-charging"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2788"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2790,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2788\/revisions\/2790"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2788"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
