Europe's leading truck makers are bringing electric HGVs to market, and high fuel costs are encouraging logistics and haulage companies to adopt them. Charging capacity at the depot is often the step that sets the pace, because grid upgrades take time. MPMC's BCH Series mobile energy storage charging stations, built by the Shanghai-based manufacturer MPMC, store energy from a modest supply and deliver high-power DC charging to electric trucks, and fleets can put them to work in three ways.

Three Ways Truck Fleets Use BCH Units

Buy: Depot-Owned Charging

Fleets that own their charging place BCH units at the depot. The BCH-500-1000 stores 1,075 kWh in a 20-foot container and delivers 500 kW through dual 350 A CCS2 guns from a 560 kW AC input, while the BCH-800-600 delivers 600 kW with 1C performance and the BCH-600-400 delivers 400 kW. Units fill from the depot connection between duty cycles and release high power when trucks return, and a depot can start with one unit, add more as the fleet grows and move units between sites. The BCH-275-200 and larger models carry a 3-year system warranty and a 5-year battery performance warranty.

Rent: Capacity From Rental Partners

Rental companies are adding BCH units to their fleets so operators can hire charging for pilots, seasonal peaks or depot moves. Eight BCH-275-200 units have recently been exported to Sweden for rental use; each provides 150 kW of DC output, 203.5 kWh of storage and 125 kW of AC output, travels on a 3.5 t trailer and reaches full operation within 24 hours of arrival. Four units fit in a 20-foot container and eight in a 40-foot high-cube, and integrated forklift pockets and C4 coating suit repeated hire.

Pay per Charge: Charging as a Service

Charging service providers operate BCH units and sell energy to fleets. EMS with 4G and OCPP 1.6 support, a cloud-ready API and optional RFID payment make billing straightforward, and pairing units with solar turns low-cost generation into revenue. Where trucks need energy urgently or away from the grid, immediate access supports premium pricing for each session.

What the BCH Brand Brings to Every Model

MPMC manufactures BCH units in its own Jiangsu factories, alongside its generator sets and battery storage systems. Every BCH model uses blade LFP battery packs with a sandwich structure tested for fire, water immersion, collision and crushing, a 390 Wh/L energy density and 6.7°C precision temperature control. DC output covers 50 to 1,000 V on the BCH-275-200 and above, and the BCH-800-600 and BCH-500-1000 add UPS-grade AC output for depot loads. Charging guns support simultaneous charge and discharge, the CCS2 DC input recharges the BCH-275-200 in about one hour, and cycle life is 6,000 cycles at 90% depth of discharge.

Proven With Electric Trucks in Europe

At a UK logistics port, eight BCH-275-200 units bypassed a constrained local grid and reduced electric truck charging time from 10 hours to near-continuous operation, and the documented UK case records CO2 savings of at least 37.5 tonnes a year for the BCH-275-200. In the Netherlands, BCH-275-200 and BCH-500-1000 units deliver renewable-powered charging for port and logistics operations, and in Norway a 2 MWh BCH system charges construction machinery off-grid.

Choosing a BCH Route for Your Fleet

• Count trucks, daily energy use and turnaround windows

• Confirm the depot's available AC connection

• Decide whether to buy, rent or contract charging

• Plan OCPP integration and billing
