The prototype Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is intended to fully recharge a heavy-duty truck in 30-40 minutes, allowing a driver to charge his vehicle up and obtain up to 500 kilometres additional range during his statutory 45-minute break.
Volvo Group, Daimler Truck, and Traton Group have announced that their heavy vehicle charging joint venture will operate under the name Milence BV, based in Amsterdam.
