Thanks to the cooperation between Windrose and Plugcharge, truck drivers should benefit from a simple charging experience. Fleet managers also gain transparency and control,

ISO 15118-20 will support the e-trucks in the following ways:

Automatic Plug&Charge authentication, with which the charging process is started securely and without RFID cards or mobile applications after connection.
Megawatt Charging System (MCS), supports ultra-high performance charging, which is essential for long-distance logistics
End-to-end encrypted communication based on a robust public key infrastructure (PKI)
Optimized fleet operation with automated contract processing and simplified billing across interoperable charging networks

Standards Are Becoming Increasingly Important

Hubject provides PKI and certificate management services that enable secure Plug&Charge communication across multiple charging networks worldwide, turning a technical protocol into a practical market capability. This approach helps keep networks connected and accessible for long-distance fleets operating across borders. This is important because the charging infrastructure for commercial vehicles is growing worldwide. It also lays the foundation for future features such as smart charging optimization and bi-directional energy services. "At Windrose, we build electric trucks not only for emission-free operation, but also for smooth worldwide use. Plug&Charge according to ISO 15118-20 is a key enabler for electrification in long-haul transportation, where uptime, safety and cross-border interoperability are crucial," explains Wen Han, founder and CEO of Windrose Technology and emphasizes: "By partnering with Hubject, we ensure that our trucks can be safely and seamlessly integrated into global megawatt charging networks and provide fleet operators with a charging experience that is as reliable and scalable as their current diesel operation."
