Epiroc, a manufacturer of mining and construction machines is partnering with Kempower, a Finnish technology company that designs and manufactures direct-current, fast-charging solutions to extend the options available for the electrification of Epiroc equipment.
The company’s charging products encompass several different models, fixed and mobile, to ensure that its battery electric vehicles (BEV) can be charged at any given time or place. Epiroc chargers come with a connectivity option that allows you to monitor their charging products remotely through a cloud service. When new software is available or if the system needs attention, it can be updated remotely by an Epiroc service technician.
The charging product portfolio includes lifting tools for Epiroc batteries as well as expert advice on the design of charging bays. The electrification offering from Epiroc also includes battery conversion kits to minimize the cost of ownership of BEVs.
