German software developer Vector Informatik has launched series production of its new communication controller for the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), aiming to accelerate the rollout of ultra-fast charging infrastructure for electric trucks.
The vSECC.MCS controller, first introduced at Power2Drive 2025, supports charging capacities of up to 3.75 megawatts and is now available to infrastructure manufacturers targeting long-haul electrification. The controller facilitates high-power vehicle-to-charger communication using Ethernet protocols and is compliant with ISO 15118-20 and IEC TS 63379 standards.
“With battery-electric trucks facing limited downtime, the need for efficient and reliable communication during charging is critical,” said Dr Omar Abu Mohareb, Product Manager at Vector. “Our development focused on robust communication, seamless system integration, and fast availability.”
The vSECC.MCS enables charging an electric truck to 80% in approximately 45 minutes, according to Vector. It also supports backward compatibility with the Combined Charging System (CCS), allowing stations to charge both passenger and heavy-duty vehicles simultaneously.
The company said the controller has completed a year of field testing under real-world conditions with pilot customers. Final prototypes have passed electromagnetic compatibility tests, and initial deliveries are slated for 2025.
Built on the same hardware and firmware platform as Vector’s CCS controller, the vSECC.MCS is designed for ease of integration into existing charging systems. It forms part of Vector’s broader e-mobility portfolio, which includes solutions for home and public charging stations, load management systems, and software libraries for grid-compliant EV charging.
