As one of the leading logistics service providers worldwide, DB Schenker is advancing the electrification of its truck fleet, beginning with a microgrid at the Neufahrn location near Munich. The site now features infrastructure for e-mobility in freight transport, including a 200-meter roof outfitted with photovoltaic (PV) modules. Ampermo was tasked with planning, building and operating the entire system.

WAGO plays a crucial role, providing the “heart and brain” of the system, housed in a compact 60 x 60 cm gray steel box. Three controllers monitor and control the entire power and data flow. They manage the energy distribution from a 835 kWp solar array and an 800 kWh battery storage system, supplying a high-power charging infrastructure (HPC) with 480 kW output and optimizing on-site energy consumption.

This setup posed significant challenges due to the undersized grid connection and the existing network infrastructure. Nonetheless, it marks a pioneering achievement by all the partners involved.
