SICHARGE D units serve as a perfect fit for any cityscape

It has scalable charging power and dynamic power sharing. A perfect fit for any cityscape, it is suited for highway and urban charging stations, city parking, as well as shopping malls.

“Public fast charging networks are an essential factor in driving a sustainable future in e-mobility in Asia-Pacific. By ensuring that charging is as effortless and as fast as people need it to be, we are making electric vehicles a viable option for more people. In addition, the SICHARGE D’s upgradeable and scalable fast charging technologies allows e-charging service providers and electric vehicle users to expand their investments step by step,” said Siddhant Gupta, head of Future Grid for Siemens in the Asia-Pacific.

Featuring best-in-class technology, this smart charger is the winner of the world-renowned iF DESIGN Award 2021 in the categories of User Interface (UI) and Service Design.

For an improved user experience, an integrated 24-inch adjustable display allows SICHARGE D to be operated barrier-free and opens new opportunities for customers to use this flexible screen for tasks beyond interfacing with the charging process such as digital menu boards, information kiosks or outdoor advertising.

The sleek and compact SICHARGE D has a scalable charging power from 160kW up to 300kW, either from the start or through plug-and-play upgrades. Furthermore, the charger supports voltages between 150 and 1,000V and currents of up to 1,000A across all DC outlets. This enables full power loads for future vehicles as well as the lower voltage charging rates demanded by today’s mainstream vehicles.

With a constant efficiency of above 95.5 per cent and a peak efficiency of 96 per cent, the new SICHARGE D ensures that almost all the generated electricity reaches the car to be charged.

Additionally, SICHARGE D can be configured with either a CCS2 (Combined Charging System) or a CHAdeMO connector cable with varying capacities of up to 400A or a 500A liquid-cooled system.

With a constant efficiency of above 95.5 per cent and a peak efficiency of 96 per cent, the new SICHARGE D ensures that almost all the generated electricity reaches the car to be charged.

For charging service providers and electric vehicle users, this means reduced operational costs. In addition, the charger allows an easy upgrade of charging power to meet future technological developments: Even if the charging capacities of most electric vehicles are still limited today, they will be able to accept higher charging power in the future and demand higher voltage ranges.

Although the number of electric vehicles is growing, today’s investments in infrastructure are challenging. With SICHARGE D, charging service providers and electric vehicle users will be able to time their investments according to market demands as the option to expand the charger with up to two external dispensers to charge up to five cars in parallel will be possible in the future. The standard configuration will have two DC and one AC outlet housed in a compact design to optimise parking spaces.

The new charger combines all these features with dynamic parallel charging. That means, it accounts for the individual power demand of each connected car and automatically adapts the charging process to the electric vehicle’s battery technology and charging status. This optimises charging time as the connected cars get the maximum power they need without any additional manual intervention.

To ensure maximum uptime and highest availability of the charger, digital connected services is included in individual service contracts with customers. These services range from preventive and corrective maintenance, remote firmware updates, spare parts, support, and consulting, as well as training.

Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi People’s Court on May 20 afternoon announced penalties for eight defendants involved in brokering and organising illegal travel on a special flight to the Republic of Korea (RoK) in late 2018.

The eight defendants were given prison sentences, ranging from 16 months and 11 days to five years, for organising and brokering illegal emigration under Article 349 of the 2015 Penal Code.

The jury concluded that in early 2018, taking advantage of several people’s demand for working in the RoK and the State’s policy of creating the necessary conditions for businesses to connect and promote investment and business links with foreign partners through participating in overseas trips by leaders’ working delegations, the defendants received money from six people to disguise them as entrepreneurs to join a business delegation and travel on a special flight to the RoK.

Four of the six people illegally migrating to the RoK have returned to Vietnam./.

Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam has recorded continual growth in squid and octopus exports to China over the last three years, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

Shipments of these commodities to China last year rose by nearly 61 percent from 2019 and by 21 percent year on year in the first four months of 2021 to more than 9.7 million USD.

Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic partly contained in China, this country has gradually eased restrictions, helping to recover demand for mollusc imports, VASEP said, noting that squid and octopus products remain one of Vietnam’s key aquatic exports to the neighbouring market.

Vietnam shipped almost 3.3 billion USD worth of aquatic products abroad in the first five months of 2021, up 14 percent year on year.

Up to 60 percent, or nearly 2 billion USD, of the revenue was contributed by the 13 Mekong Delta localities while six others in the southeastern region made up 18 percent, 602 million USD, VASEP reported.

Between January and May, overall agricultural exports to China posted impressive growth with shipments of some produce even matching or surpassing the corresponding figures for the entire 2020, according to the Plant Protection Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

In particular, Vietnam shipped over 468,000 tonnes of mango to this market, equivalent to 112 percent of last year’s figure; 348,000 tonnes of banana, 87 percent; 301,000 tonnes of jackfruit, 92 percent; and 1.1 million tonnes of dragon fruit, 63 percent.

Hoang Trung, Director of the Plant Protection Department, said China has long been the main importer of farm produce from Vietnam, and it will remain the largest buyer of Vietnamese agro-forestry-fishery products in the time to come./.

Hanoi (VNA) – Hanoi has recently recommended the Government direct competent ministries and sectors to timely issue guidance on meting out punishment to violations of COVID-19 prevention rules in the capital city amidst the new COVID-19 resurgence.

In its latest report on COVID-19 control work sent to the Prime Minister on May 13, the city also suggested tight management of passenger and goods transport vehicles from other provinces to the city as the pandemic has become more complicated.

The Ministry of Health (MoH) should direct hospitals to provide localities with a list of positive cases found in the hospitals along with detailed information on the patients so that the local authorities can trace the suspected COVID-19 cases in a timely fashion.

Hanoi also urged neighbouring provinces to inspect the implementation of pandemic prevention measures at industrial parks and processing zones in line with the MoH’s instruction, and reduce labourer movement between localities.

The city suggested that localities adjacent to Hanoi compile and keep updated lists of workers and experts at the industrial and processing areas who are living in other localities including Hanoi, and share the information with Hanoi , along with information of the vehicles and transport businesses who sign contract to transport those labourers and experts.

Hanoi has logged 62 locally-transmitted COVID-19 infections since the beginning of the latest outbreak on April 29.

It has suspended the operations of a number of non-essential establishments, including sidewalk eateries, karaoke parlours, bars, cinemas, gyms, spas and stadium. Most recently, the city decided to close all sport events, golf courses and training facilities in response to the new COVID-19 outbreak./.
