Driving eHGV electrification forward: Overcoming barriers with future-ready solutions

Electrifying heavy goods vehicle (eHGV) fleets is no longer a question of if—it’s a question of how fast and how effectively. Yet, for many fleet operators, the road to electrification is strewn with barriers: interoperability challenges, infrastructure scalability, and future-proofing investments. These are not minor hurdles—they are the critical factors that determine whether an electrification strategy succeeds or stalls.

CharIN, the global authority shaping EV charging standards, has been unequivocal: interoperability is the single most significant barrier to scaling eHGV adoption. Their recently published Megawatt Charging System (MCS) White Paper warns against fragmented approaches and underlines the necessity of supporting the full operating range of 400–1250 V DC. Anything less risks costly incompatibility and stranded assets. In CharIN’s words:

If it’s not future ready, it’s high risk

At Turbo Power Systems (TPS), we share this vision—and we’re acting on it. As an active member of CharIN’s MCS Task Force, we’re helping shape the standards conversation and through our collaborations with global leaders like Volvo Trucks UK and Veolia we’re ensuring excellence in interoperability and future readiness.

SMART FLEET: Removing Barriers, Delivering ROI

Our SMART FLEET charging solution for fleets is designed to eliminate the very obstacles CharIN highlights. Here’s how:

Interoperability Built-In 

Our VELOX Ultra-Rapid DC Chargers support all major charging standards—including MCS—and deliver bi-directional V2X functionality. With a voltage range of 150 to 1,250 V and modular scalability up to 1.2 Megawatts, VELOX ensures your investment is future-proof.

Scalable, Cost-Effective Infrastructure 

Integrated with our DC Microgrid architecture, SMART FLEET enables seamless expansion—adding chargers, battery storage, or embedded generation without costly redesigns. This approach minimises grid upgrade costs and accelerates ROI.

Future-Ready for Megawatt Charging

SMART FLEET is engineered to evolve, paving the way to meet and exceed the MCS standard of 3.75 MW / 3,000 A, without additional power electronics.
