BASF provided LAPP with consulting support during the development phase of the Mobility Dock. Ultramid is said to be mechanically resilient and UV-resistant, both properties that keep the Mobility Dock durable and colourfast even under sunlight. The plastic is a halogen-free flame retardant and exhibits high chemical resistance. In addition, high-contrast labelling of the housing is possible by laser marking.
The Mobility Dock, which features a compact, ergonomic design, charges electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles from a standard household socket. It can be stored in the trunk to save space and enables flexible charging at home and on the road.
Dr. Simon Alig, managing director at LAPP Mobility, said: "The Mobility Dock for charging is the ideal product: small, handy, and without a tangle of cables, the trunk stays tidy. Partners, such as BASF, with their application-oriented material portfolio, lay the foundation for such innovations on the way to emission-free mobility."
BASF will display the mobile charger at Fauma in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from 17-21 October.
