 Your fleet:
Always ready to go
The SICHARGE UC family was specifically designed for charging buses and commercial
­vehicles at the depot or on-route at selected locations. When and where charging
is most reasonable and efficient depends on the routes, charging schedules, and
location of electric vehicles. Its modular design, multiple connection options –
including dispenser and high-power automated charging with either pantographs
or hoods – allows for easy integration into existing charging infrastructures, even
with space constraints.
