Zerova is debuting its MCS dispenser in Europe at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, a fleet-satellite DC charging unit rated for up to 1,440 kW and 1,500 A of liquid-cooled output current per unit for heavy-duty trucks and buses. According to the release, the Zerova dispenser is built on the company’s DO360 and DZ480 power cabinet architecture and is designed to scale as adoption of the CharIN Megawatt Charging System standard grows across Europe’s freight and transit networks. The company says the launch comes as European fleet operators move toward megawatt-class charging for long-haul and depot-based commercial vehicles.
Highlights
- Up to 1,440 kW and 1,500 A of liquid-cooled output current per dispenser unit
- Output voltage of 150–950 Vdc with the DO360 cabinet and 200–950 Vdc with the DZ480
- Liquid-cooled 16.4-ft (5 m) or 23-ft (7 m) cable with MCS and CCS2 connector compatibility
- On display September 15–20 at booth C20, Hall 13, Hanover exhibition grounds
What Are the MCS Dispenser’s Specifications?
The dispenser operates as a fleet satellite unit fed by Zerova’s DO360 or DZ480 power cabinets, the company reports. Output voltage depends on the cabinet pairing:
- DO360: 150–950 Vdc
- DZ480: 200–950 Vdc
Each unit delivers up to 1,440 kW and 1,500 A of liquid-cooled output current. Zerova says the platform is designed to grow alongside the CharIN Megawatt Charging System standard, following the publication of the IEC TS 63379 connector specification earlier this year.
Fleet Depot and Highway Corridor Features
Zerova engineered the dispenser for commercial fleet charging at depots and along highway corridors, according to the release. Features include:
- Cable: liquid-cooled, 16.4-ft (5 m) or 23-ft (7 m) length, compatible with MCS and CCS2 connectors
- Display: 10.4-inch IK8-rated touchscreen
- Authentication: RFID, QR code, Plug & Charge, and optional credit card payment through payment terminals
- Backend integration: OCPP 1.6J and OCPP 2.0.1 support for charge point operator systems
- Compliance: designed to meet CE requirements, including IEC 61851-1 and IEC 61851-23, for deployment across the EU and EEA
Judy Hung, Business Operations Director at Zerova, said: “European fleet operators need charging infrastructure that matches the pace of truck and bus electrification. Our MCS dispenser brings Zerova’s DC charging expertise to the megawatt class, giving operators a fleet satellite charging platform built to grow alongside the MCS standard as it matures across Europe.”
Extending Depot Experience to Megawatt Trucks
The company characterizes heavy-duty transport as one of the fastest-moving fronts in Europe’s electrification push, with truck OEMs and charge point operators working to stand up megawatt-capable corridors along major freight routes. Zerova says the MCS dispenser extends its depot and fleet charging experience, already deployed at scale across UK and European bus and coach operations, into the megawatt segment for trucks and long-haul coaches.
Brian Huang, Managing Director UK at Zerova, said: “This launch reflects where the market is heading. Depot operators and logistics fleets across Europe are asking for megawatt-class charging they can deploy today and expand tomorrow, and that’s exactly what our MCS dispenser delivers.”
Zerova at IAA Transportation 2026
Zerova will show the MCS Megawatt Dispenser alongside its broader DC charging portfolio at IAA Transportation 2026, running September 15–20 at the Hanover exhibition grounds, with press day on September 14. The company is hosting attendees at booth C20, Hall 13, where its team will discuss upcoming European deployments.
