DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
July 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dover
Fueling Solutions ("DFS"), a part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) that
delivers advanced fuel dispensing equipment, electronic systems and
payment, fleet systems, automatic tank gauging and wetstock
management, is pleased to announce a cooperation with ABB to bring
electric vehicle chargers to locations in Europe. Adding DC high power and fast chargers
to DFS' product portfolio means that DFS is able to deliver a
complete fuel forecourt offering to retail sites in Europe, where the chargers can be integrated
into existing DFS on-site equipment - such as the Tokheim Fuel
POS™ point-of-sale system - using Open
Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). Additionally, OCPP enables connection
to a number of value-added services on site, such as DFS payment
and media applications.
ABB is a global leader in electric vehicle charging
infrastructure, having sold more than 11,000 DC fast chargers
across 76 countries. With a comprehensive charging portfolio, ABB
offers solutions that fit seamlessly with the majority of fuel
retail sites. Designed to meet the demands of an increasingly
sustainable society, ABB's chargers have the capacity to meet the
needs of today and tomorrow. The Terra HP, offers a charging power
of 150-350 kW. Ideally suited for use at highway rest stops and
petrol stations, Terra HP's ultra-high current has the capacity to
charge both 400 V and 800 V cars at full power, and is capable of
delivering up to 200km of range in 8 minutes. Meanwhile, the 50kW
Terra 54 can offer an output range of up to 920V, ensuring it can
support all existing 500V battery EVs, plus the next generation of
high-voltage electric vehicles.
The cooperation between DFS and ABB is one built on a strong
quality and safety focus, two aspects in which both businesses
strive for excellence. The Terra charger from ABB is certified for
compliance with IEC 61000 EMV Class B for operations on petrol
stations, proving it completely safe in all areas on site.
DFS' position in the retail fueling industry, together with
ABB's position in the electrical charging segment, makes this new
cooperation an ideal match for both businesses, and one that will
offer substantial benefit to the European market.
Frank Muehlon, Managing Director for electric vehicle charging
infrastructure at ABB explained, "As a market leader in EV
charging infrastructure, we are excited about working with DFS to
further extend our reach to their strong global customer base.
Adding electric vehicle charging to the DFS end-to-end fuel retail
solution will only serve to strengthen their offering and we are
confident that our pioneering products will perfectly complement
the DFS portfolio."
Lise-Lotte Nordholm, DFS VP for
the Dispenser Business Unit, continued, "The incremental growth of
electric vehicles will continue in line with local government
policy and public demand for a cleaner environment. DFS continues
to explore new avenues for alternative energy provision and
believes that ABB is a great strategic partner to help our business
advance in this area."
