Global logistics firm DP World has installed a 7.2 MW charging site with 12 MCS dispensers at London Gateway, a deepwater container port. The Kempower Megawatt Chargers will power a fleet of 12 Kalmar electric straddle carriers.
The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is an emerging standard for heavy electric vehicles. It can deliver charging power of up to 3.75 megawatts (3,000 amps at 1,250 volts DC).
Kalmar, a global provider of material handling equipment and services, has selected Kempower as a strategic partner to develop a new range of DC fast charging solutions for material handling and logistics, focusing on the port segment.
In 2024, DP World and Kempower deployed a 500 A continuous charging system for Kalmar’s electric straddle carriers at London Gateway. The installation of these 12 MCS chargers represents the second phase of the port’s electrification, and it will increase the total power capacity at the site to 11.2 MW.
Jussi Vanhanen, Chief Market Officer at Kempower said: “We are very happy to continue our collaboration with DP World in the electrification of London Gateway, and excited to supply the first MCS chargers to the site. Transfer to MCS significantly decreases charging downtime, accelerating emission reduction and sustainable material handling and logistics at ports.”
