4540 ABB has supplied its fast-charging station for electric vehicles to the new Lidl store in Barrandov, Prague. The Terra 53 CJG fast-charging station includes a special ABB application that uses the capabilities of ABB Ability digital offering, allowing DC-based charging network monitoring and control.

ABB‘s charging stations comply with three international charging standards – CHAdeMO and Combined Charging Solution (CCS) for DC charging and Type 2 Standard  for AC charging. ABB’s stations are therefore suitable for all types of electric cars available on the market.

An important part of Lidl’s contract are ‘Driver Care’ and ‘Charger Care’ packages of communication and charging station managing systems, which enable Lidl to monitor the parameters of its charging points, including the power consumption for each of them, or to calculate statistics over a defined period.

    High-speed weigh-in-motion is starting to make its mark on both sides of the Atlantic. As a transit country the Czech Republic experiences a large number of overloaded vehicles, which greatly increase highway maintenance costs. This prompted its Transport Ministry to trial an extension of the capabilities of the existing truck tolling system to allow the dynamic high-speed weighing of cargo vehicles. In effect the tolling enforcement gantries become weigh-in-motion (WIM) locations.

    The growing popularity of hybrids and electric vehicles gives rise to new safety issues in urban environments, as many of the aural cues associated with engine noise can be missing. The solution is to intelligently make vehicles noisier. The rise in popularity of hybrids and Electric Vehicles (EVs) is a result of environmental pressures, shifts in taxation and emerging technologies for batteries and motors. Competition among the car manufacturers means these vehicles need to be cost effective to buy and ope
