    Zurich gets loading houses

    The Zug -based AMAG Group has set up Switzerland’s first charging station in the Utoquai car park at Färberstrasse 6 in Zurich, the automobile company said in a press release . 50 of the 150 parking spaces in the multi-storey car park were equipped with a charging station. Interested parties can rent such a parking space and charge their electric vehicle. The available price models for parking and charging including electricity are explained on parking.amag.ch .

    A good charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important in view of the increasing number of newly registered electric vehicles, explains Hendrik Lütjens in the press release. “With the Utoquai loading house, AMAG Parking offers residents in Zurich’s Seefeld a sustainable and convenient solution and contributes to the more efficient use of inner-city areas,” says the Managing Director of AMAG Parking AG. “Further multi-storey car parks from AMAG Parking AG will follow, further facilitating the switch to electromobility.”

    AMAG intends to open its next loading house in the Kongress parking garage in Zurich this month. A total of 28 charging stations are planned here. In the fall, the AMAG Group plans to install a further 61 charging stations in the Messe Zürich multi-storey car park in Oerlikon.

  • ABB is building off-grid charging stations with AFC

    ABB is building off-grid charging stations with AFC

    ABB and AFC Energy have agreed on a cooperation to bring hydrogen-powered charging of electric vehicles to the global market, according to a media release from AFC, based in Carnleigh, southeast of London. The cooperation with "the world leader in electrification technologies" ABB, so the announcement, found a global market of at least 140 billion dollars by 2030 for the charging of electric vehicles.

    Both companies want to use the hydrogen fuel cell system developed and manufactured by AFC, which supplies clean electricity for on-grid and off-grid applications. Off-grid charging stations for e-vehicles are also possible with such fuel cells and deliver CO2-free electricity. The partners will jointly market the integrated product and jointly develop a communication strategy for branding and use. It should be ready for use in the UK, Europe, the United States and other countries in the second half of 2021, according to the press release.

    Frank Muehlon, head of global e-mobility infrastructure solutions business at ABB, is quoted as saying, “ABB is a leader in e-mobility solutions and is proud to have played a key role in promoting e-vehicles around the world. The partnership with AFC Energy enables us to push the boundaries of e-mobility, especially with regard to off-grid applications, and thus enable a much greater range of e-mobility based on clean energy. ”Adam Bond, CEO of AFC Energy: "Today marks a historic milestone in the commercialization of our proprietary hydrogen fuel cell, as we begin a long-term collaboration with ABB." ABB offers strong and credible access to important customer channels in Europe and overseas.

    According to the announcement, the partnership will focus on the joint use of integrated high-performance EV charging systems in ABB's key markets. These are private users such as logistics companies and urban transport. The systems could also be used to supply power to ships and vertical take-off and landing vehicles (VTOL) because they are not connected to the grid.
