Energizing the world
of utility vehicles
Many towns, communities and companies
have already discovered the benefits of
an electrified fleet for their public buses,
delivery or waste removal trucks. Successful
projects can be found in numerous places
around the world, and we can expect an
exponential growth of such installations as
both electric utility vehicles and available
charging infrastructures are now adapted
to perfectly fit the needs.
The future-oriented charging setup takes
care of a diverse mix of vehicles, considers
restrictions in power supply setup, optimizes

your electricity bill and most important,
provides you with the safety that all your
vehicles are always available when you need
them. Furthermore, it has to seamlessly
integrate in any existing environment. Small
footprints in highly frequented areas and a
design which supports your brand need to
be considered.
With the SICHARGE UC family, Siemens
provides such a set of building blocks which
adapts to the various requirements and
restrictions you encounter in energizing
your fleet now and in the future.

The SICHARGE UC family

Providing you always with the best fitting hard- and software for your specific
needs is our mission. For this, you can freely choose from the components of the
SICHARGE UC family in its various power classes. One or multiple Charging Centers
are always the core of the system as it contains the AC grid connection and the
DC power electronics for your charging purposes.

Depot charging
The easiest way to connect to an electric
vehicle is via a charging cable from the
Charging Center. As space is valuable in
many public places and logistic sites, you
might want to distribute the DC power from
the Charging Centers via up to 5 additional
Frontends which you can install flexibly
within your charging setup. As this cable
connection requires some user interaction,
and is dedicated for longer charging times,
we generally see this installed in bus or
logistic depots.

Opportunity charging
Also used in depots but often dedicated
for short-term opportunity charging, we
see the use of Pantograph solutions,
either installed on the vehicle or as part
of the off-board infrastructure. The
SICHARGE UC family provides solutions
also for these automated connection
possibilities via a mast mounted Panto-
graph or respectively via fix contact rails
installed in the mast or roof mounted
Hood. Either of such option is again
powered by the Charging Center and if
you want to combine frontends and
Pantograph, you also have this flexibility.

Charging Center
The Charging Center is the
core of your system. It
contains the charging
controller, the DC convert-
ers and optionally a direct
cable connection to the
vehicle. Several other
vehicle connections like the
cable based Frontend,
inverted Pantograph and
Hood can be powered by
this unit.
Frontend
The cable connected
Frontend of the UC family
is installed close to the
vehicles connection with a
small footprint and elegant
design.
For investment and space
optimization, several
Frontends can be powered
in sequence by a single
Charging Center.
