Our second prototype is finished and registered
‘Willi’ is the second battery-electric truck to be successfully retrofitted with a pantograph system. It differs from ‘Maja’ mainly in its galvanically isolated DC/DC converter, which enables a higher charging capacity, as well as an optimised design of the pantograph tower.
In addition, ‘Maja’ and ‘Willi’ have received their road licence today and are ready for test drives in real road traffic. This makes them the first overhead line trucks with road approval without the need for a special permit, as both vehicles and the retrofit concept meet all the requirements for obtaining an operating licence.
