Atlas Copco has introduced the FCS 220-240 - a mobile rapid charging station designed to deliver electricity directly at the point of use.
Designed for temporary installation across construction, industrial and events applications, the new system enables operators to deploy high-power charging infrastructure wherever it is needed.
The FCS 220-240 combines a 232 kWh energy storage system with a charging output of up to 220 kW DC and a 50 kW auxiliary AC output, enabling rapid charging of electric vehicles and equipment such as excavators, loaders and trucks. Designed as a towable unit weighing under 3.5 tonnes and featuring a robust, IP55-rated design, the mobile charging station can be transported easily and deployed with minimal set-up.
A key advantage of the system is its ability to extend the operating time of electric equipment, helping customers achieve a full working day without relying on diesel backup. Customer tests have shown that the FCS 220-240 can deliver up to five additional operating hours per day for a single hour of charging. Multiple connectors enable simultaneous charging of multiple machines, increasing overall site productivity.
The unit also features charge-to-recharge capability, allowing it to be recharged via grid connections, EV infrastructure or generators while continuing to supply power. This ensures continuous operation even in demanding or remote environments.
The FCS 220-240 is equipped with Atlas Copco’s ECO Controller, which provides advanced energy management alongside enhanced operational control. Dynamic Load Management allows the system to balance charging demand with auxiliary power requirements, including up to 50 kW AC output for additional site loads.
The system also features multi-level user access, allowing site managers and rental companies to define permissions for different users, from basic operation to full system configuration. This makes it easier to manage multiple contractors on busy worksites or control access across rental fleets.
“One of the biggest barriers to using electric equipment on site is keeping it running throughout the working day," said Divisional Product Marketing Manager Energy Storage Systems, Tobias Schuster. "The FCS 220-240 gives customers a practical way to bring high-power charging directly to their operations, helping them extend runtime, improve productivity and reduce reliance on diesel-powered equipment.”
