Kamag introduced the third generation of its ePM electric-powered mobile swap bodies carrier at the GreenLogisticExpo in Padua, showcasing a number of innovations compared to the previous model. One of the main upgrades is the increased vehicle voltage, allowing for faster charging, greater energy efficiency, and reduced delivery times. The ePM is capable of lifting C715, C745, and C782 swap bodies, as well as trailers and semi-trailers, making it a versatile tool for various logistical needs.
The Kamag ePM is equipped with a standard battery pack composed of four Webasto batteries, offering a total capacity of 140 kWh, which allows the vehicle to operate continuously for up to ten hours, depending on operating conditions. A full recharge takes 90 minutes using direct current at an HPC charging station, thanks to the commonly used CCS 2.0 automotive plug. The maximum charging power is 100 kW, and the system is designed to facilitate efficient intermediate charges, enabling continuous vehicle operation. For instance, after 3.5 hours of use, a 25-minute charge is sufficient to continue working.
Among the technical innovations, the hot-dip galvanized frame components stand out, providing enhanced resistance to atmospheric agents, along with the swap bodies lifting unit and cabin suspension, designed to reduce maintenance. The low entry threshold allows the driver quick and ergonomic access to the vehicle, while the panoramic windshield and rear window ensure optimal visibility. The external mirrors, a wide-angle mirror, and an optional reversing camera complete the offering for all-around vision. The joystick, which controls all key functions, makes vehicle management simple and intuitive, while the steering angle of up to 45 degrees makes it agile in maneuvering, even in tight spaces.
