CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE TRANSPORT SECTOR: STW TO COOPERATE WITH PARKSTROM

The internationally-active component and system supplier Sensor-Technik Wiedemann GmbH (STW) is to cooperate with Parkstrom GmbH. The Berlin-based charging service provider and the technology company based in Bavaria are taking the next step towards the establishment of a long-term strategic partnership. Due to Parkstrom’s many years of experience and expertise in the field of charging solutions and STW’s proven competence in the segments digitalization, automation and electrification, both partners envisage significant synergic effects in the increasingly-important fields of charging infrastructure and load management.

In view of the increasing demand for electric vehicle solutions, Dr. Michael P. Schmitt, Managing Director at STW GmbH, views the comprehensive charging services provided by Parkstrom as a valuable supplement to STW’s own product range: “Parkstrom is able to holistically round off STW’s range of offers: We electrify the trucks and Parkstrom supplies the charging infrastructure. Electromobility from a single source.”

For Parkstrom, the cooperation with STW offers the possibility to reinforce their activities in the logistics and transport branch. “STW is the ideal partner for Parkstrom to expand its offer portfolio in the field of logistics. Transport companies, vehicle fleets or passenger transportation companies are our focus here”, explains Stefan Pagenkopf-Martin, Managing Director of Parkstrom.

And the two partners have even bigger plans – joint projects in which the two companies can fully exploit their respective strengths to obtain mutual benefits. Amongst the projects currently being worked on are new developments in the field of bidirectional charging as well as product innovations for logistics applications, amongst these route optimizations through tracking, which hold enormous efficiency potential.
