A single-person lift power module system
A combination of Tritium’s 50kW RTM and 150kW PKM chargers are in the bp‘s order. Today, one of the most technologically advanced DC fast chargers is Tritium’s RTM, the company’s first modular charger.
The RTM uses a single-person lift power module system for more straightforward power upgrades, maintenance, and serviceability, making it perfect for network operators, dealerships, and the retail and hospitality industries.
Through Tritium’s creative micro-grid design, the high-powered and modular 150kW PKM charger uses a shared power source to increase charger availability and power output. Fleets, telecom operators, heavy commercial complexes, retail, and hospitality all favor the model.
Bp’s European, Australian and American market
The company’s Lebanon, Tennessee facility, expected to begin operations in August 2022 and has a total annual production capacity of 30,000 units annually, will manufacture the chargers for bp’s European and American markets.
The chargers will be created by Tritium in Brisbane at a factory with a capacity of 5,000 units annually for bp’s Australian markets.
This revelation comes two months after Tritium CEO Jane Hunter and bp CEO Bernard Looney attended the Australia launch of bp pulse, the company’s global electrification brand. The executives recently launched the latest bp Pulse fast charge points at their participation in bp Bayside at Brighton East in Melbourne.
