Electrifying Heavy-Duty Industrial Operations
Across mining, construction, and industrial sites, electrification is accelerating as operators seek to reduce emissions, lower operating costs, and improve energy efficiency. However, electrifying heavy-duty machinery presents unique challenges.
Industrial environments demand high-power charging, continuous availability, and equipment that can withstand dust, vibration, and extreme temperatures. For electric wheel loaders operating in mining areas, charging infrastructure must be robust, reliable, and easy to manage—without disrupting daily operations.
To support the electrification of XCMG electric wheel loaders, the project required a charging solution capable of delivering fast charging performance while operating consistently in harsh on-site conditions.
Project Overview: 180 kW DC Fast Charging in a Turkish Mining Site
At the industrial mining facility in Turkey, four 180 kW DC fast charging stations were deployed to support the daily operation of electric wheel loaders.
The project selected AONENG ANDCE1 Y-series DC chargers, configured to meet the site’s power, environmental, and operational requirements. The chargers provide up to 180 kW output power, with a wide voltage range of 200–1000 V, ensuring compatibility with heavy-duty electric machinery.
Designed specifically for industrial use, the chargers support dual CCS2 connectors, flexible charging modes, and remote connectivity via 4G and Ethernet, enabling efficient operation and centralized monitoring through OCPP 1.6J.
Solution Highlights: Built for Harsh Environments
To meet the demands of mining operations, the charging solution delivers several key advantages:
High-power fast charging
Up to 180 kW rated power with high current output ensures reduced downtime for electric wheel loaders and supports continuous industrial workflows.
Stable performance in harsh conditions
With an IP54 protection rating, a wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +55°C, and comprehensive electrical protections, the chargers are well suited for dusty environments and challenging climates.
High efficiency and power quality
A peak efficiency ≥96% and power factor ≥0.99 help reduce energy losses and improve overall system performance.
Industrial-grade connectivity and control
Full OCPP 1.6J compliance, remote monitoring, and multiple authentication options (RFID, QR code, APP) enable easy fleet management and operational transparency.
Customer Feedback & Scalability
Since commissioning, the charging stations have been operating reliably, supporting daily industrial use with stable performance and consistent charging quality. The solution has demonstrated strong durability in real-world mining conditions, reinforcing confidence in long-term operation.
This project also confirms the scalability and replicability of the solution—making it well suited for additional mining sites, construction projects, and other heavy-duty electrification scenarios.
Enabling Industrial Electrification
This project highlights how purpose-built DC fast charging infrastructure can successfully support the electrification of heavy-duty operations—even in the most demanding environments.
As industries worldwide continue their transition toward electric fleets, AONENG is ready to support industrial customers with reliable, high-performance charging solutions designed for real-world conditions.
