How would you explain your business model?

We start with in-house manufacturing of the first pilot systems, then move to contract manufacturing for series production, and scale globally through technology licenses to OEM manufacturers. This brings a deep-tech hardware innovation to a worldwide market quickly and capital-efficiently, without building large-scale production ourselves.

What makes your idea unique compared to your competitors?

Established suppliers such as ABB, Siemens or Phoenix Contact advertise peak charging power of 1.6 to 3.75 MW, but their point-shaped pin-and-socket contacts hit thermal limits well below that in real continuous operation, typically under 1 MW. akroVA's CLMW system instead uses a radial contact with a much larger contact area combined with active liquid cooling, sustaining 6 MW continuously — making heavy-duty applications chargeable that are effectively unchargeable with today's technology.

Where do you see your company in the next 5 years?

We aim to move CLMW from validated technology into pilot deployment and then series production, starting with electric ferries and heavy-duty mining trucks. The same radial-contact, actively cooled architecture also carries over to trucks and other heavy electric vehicles, letting them charge as fast as they refuel today. Our goal is to establish CLMW as the industry's high-power charging standard for heavy-duty electromobility, scaled globally through OEM technology licenses.
