A waste management vehicle is performing a test charging operation at the SBRS charging infrastructure installed in Troisdorf and Swisttal.

 

 

We at SBRS GmbH successfully completed the installation of charging infrastructure for waste disposal vehicles at two locations, all within a tight schedule. 

In Troisdorf, 10 TwinLader units were installed, and in Swisttal, 15 TwinLader units. The infrastructure delivers a power output of 180 kW, currently limited to 150 kW.

It features state-of-the-art TwinLader technology with CCS2 connectors, dynamic load distribution, and an overarching charging management system for efficient and flexible charging processes. 

The project posed significant challenges. From a technical perspective, laying the medium-voltage cable was particularly demanding: a directional drilling operation spanning approximately 500 meters and the construction of several new cable shafts had to be completed. Unexpected obstacles such as gas pipelines and existing power supplies further complicated the work. Organizationally, the tight schedule was a true stress test. Additional difficulties included limited space at both sites and even two major fires at the Troisdorf location, which further hindered progress. 

Project Manager Sascha Hermanns describes what made this project special: 
“It was my first project in the company and one of the most challenging. From the start of construction to final acceptance, it was an intense and exciting journey. I’m all the more pleased with our customers’ satisfaction and the praise from the team.” 

This project demonstrated that every undertaking is unique and highlighted how crucial teamwork, flexibility, and perseverance are for success.

Indicative results based on model assumptions

This calculator provides indicative savings estimates for fleets investing in depot charging infrastructure. The model reflects the impact of depot optimisation, smart charging and energy management across Shell’s integrated network.

This scenario assumes a heavy-duty truck operating 116,000 km per year over 5 years, with 75% depot charging and 25% on-the-go charging supported by a semi-public, energy-optimised eDepot. Actual results will vary depending on market conditions and customer-specific factors.
