Rocsys has launched its next-generation hands-free charging system, the S2, targeting heavy-duty electric vehicle operations across ports, terminals and logistics hubs.
The Dutch company noted that the solution is now available and has already been deployed with a major port customer, marking its transition from development to operational use.
The system is designed to streamline charging processes for electric fleets operating in high-demand, complex environments.
As ports scale electrification, charging operations increasingly require coordination across multiple vehicle types, shifts and infrastructure constraints.
The S2 aims to reduce manual intervention, improve consistency and support higher utilisation rates across terminal fleets.
Building on Rocsys’ earlier ROC-1 system, the S2 features a smaller footprint, simplified installation and improved durability for outdoor conditions.
It has been developed using more than six years of field data from deployments across Europe and North America.
The system uses computer vision and motion intelligence to locate and connect to a vehicle’s charging inlet with high precision, adapting in real time to environmental conditions such as low light, dust and rain.
Rocsys reports a 99.9 per cent plug-in success rate, supporting continuous operations in high-throughput settings.
Two configurations are available: a standard version for general fleet applications and the S2-H, designed for heavy-duty industrial use with additional protective features. Both variants are engineered to operate reliably in demanding port and terminal environments.
The S2 also supports interoperability across mixed fleets and charging systems, addressing a key challenge for terminals integrating electric equipment from multiple vendors.
Integration with fleet management and terminal operating systems is enabled through APIs, allowing operators to monitor and optimise charging performance.
Part of the broader Rocsys platform, the system combines hardware, software and support services to provide end-to-end charging automation. The design also enables deployment with minimal civil works, supporting retrofitting within existing terminal infrastructure.
Crijn Bouman, CEO and Co-Founder, Rocsys, said: “Rocsys S2 brings our hands-free charging technology into its next commercial phase. Heavy-duty electric fleets need charging infrastructure that works reliably in real operating conditions, across mixed vehicles, chargers and site layouts. Built on more than six years of field experience, S2 gives customers a practical way to add hands-free charging to existing operations and keep vehicles ready when they are needed.”
In April, Rocsys partnered with International Transportation Service at the Port of Long Beach to deploy hands-free charging technology for electric cargo handling equipment in an operational terminal environment.
