Day 3 - Underground Mining Session - 14:40-15:05 - Ruggedised MCS as the new fast charging standard for surface and underground mining

The global acceleration toward electric vehicle use is one of the important pillars of the green energy transition and, while significant progress has been achieved in the automotive industry, there is still a way to go in the global supply chain including trucks, ships and airplanes. That is driving me and other employees at grivix to continue developing cutting-edge technologies in autonomous megawatt charging for heavy-duty vehicles. In following this passion, I was able to build significant professional experience in the field, starting from converting cars into electrical vehicles, moving into developing one of the first electrical trucks and finally transiting into new products development for the major automotive supplier in Switzerland – Huber+Suhner in 2014. In 2017, I led the first-ever development and market launch of the cooled cable (unique technology allowing faster charging). In 2018, I decided to follow my passion as an entrepreneur and set up grivix.
