For ON Power, this represents a significant milestone in its strategy to build cutting-edge infrastructure that supports the future of sustainable transport, reinforcing its role as a frontrunner in Iceland’s energy transition.

Now operational in Iceland, the system delivers up to 640 kW of DC charging power, with a modular platform engineered to scale up to 1.2 MW and 1,500 A. Installed at Digranesgata 4A in Borgarnes, a key logistics point on Iceland’s national Ring Road, the system is positioned to serve heavy-duty vehicles along key logistics routes. This future-ready architecture positions it to meet the growing demands of electric trucks, buses, and long-haul freight corridors across the continent.

“This project represents a major step forward in Autel’s expansion into the European heavy-duty charging market,” said Andreas Lastei, VP Sales & Marketing at Autel Europe. “We are proud to partner with ON Power to deliver one of the most advanced and resilient MCS systems in Europe — a solution that’s not only powerful, but designed for long-term scalability.”

Engineered for extreme environments, the MaxiCharger MCS platform is fully adapted to Iceland’s demanding climate, operating reliably in sub-zero temperatures, high winds, and other climate-challenging conditions. Its robust design ensures consistent performance and durability in the Nordic region and beyond.

The system is developed in line with international standards such as IEC 61851 and ISO 15118, ensuring interoperability and readiness for the evolving high-power charging landscape in Europe.

“Our goal is to lead the energy transition and build infrastructure that supports emerging technologies — even before they reach mainstream use in Iceland,” says Jóhann Ingi Magnússon, Head of Sales and Customer Service at ON Power. “This initiative marks an important step in the development of the energy transition and demonstrates ON Power’s commitment to taking the lead, not only locally, but internationally as well. We are very pleased with our collaboration with Autel on bringing this future-ready solution to life.”

This deployment comes at a pivotal moment, as the European transport sector accelerates its decarbonization efforts. With new EU regulations targeting emissions from heavy-duty vehicles and growing investment in clean transport corridors, high-power charging solutions like MaxiCharger MCS are set to become critical infrastructure for enabling zero-emission logistics.

Earlier this year, Autel Europe co-hosted the first MCS controller test event with CharIN, and in June, completed a vehicle-based megawatt charging test. These initiatives validate the performance and interoperability of Autel’s MCS platform and reinforce its readiness for real-world deployment across diverse commercial use cases.

The collaboration between Autel Europe and ON Power not only brings megawatt-level charging to a key freight route in Iceland but also sets a precedent for scalable, future-proof infrastructure across Europe. As demand for electric freight and long-haul transport grows, Autel Europe remains committed to delivering intelligent, robust, and future-ready charging platforms that drive the transition to zero-emission mobility.
