Engineering Contractor in Germany
As part of a transition to cleaner operations, a leading construction engineering firm in Germany sought a mobile EV charging solution to support electric excavators and site machinery across dynamic, remote worksites.
No Access to Fixed or Grid-Based Charging Infrastructure
Construction sites are frequently temporary, isolated, and lack access to the electrical grid. Traditional fixed EV chargers are impractical, while diesel generators compromise sustainability targets. The client required a fully mobile and off-grid energy solution that was rugged, efficient, and ready for real-world job site conditions to maintain operational continuity without relying on grid power. At the same time, compliance with the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) is becoming a requirement for public deployments.

Mobile, Off-Grid, AFIR-Compliant Charging
SETEC POWER partnered with a local engineering firm in Germany to deploy PowerOnTheGo, a mobile charging solution tailored for electric construction equipment:
60 kWh Battery Capacity per Unit: Enables fully off-grid charging, ideal for job sites without stable grid access.
Dual CCS2 Connectors: Supports simultaneous fast charging of multiple machines, reducing idle time.
Wide Temperature Adaptability: Operates reliably in -20°C to +50°C, ensuring smooth operation in all seasons.
AFIR-Compliant Charging: Meets the EU’s latest regulatory requirements for alternative fuel infrastructure—ensuring safety, interoperability, and readiness for large-scale deployment.

Greener, More Flexible Power for Construction Sites
By integrating PowerOnTheGo into its operations, the German construction team successfully eliminated reliance on diesel generators, which reduced fuel costs and significantly cut CO₂ emissions. At the same time, the solution met EU AFIR standards, ensuring regulatory compliance and readiness for future large-scale deployment. Even in remote, off-grid locations, the team achieved energy independence with stable, zero-emission power, maintaining full operational continuity without the need for grid access.
