Delta-Q Technologies

Chargers designed to an OEM's specification

Delta-Q Technologies designs and makes battery chargers for electric vehicles and machines, and it sells them to the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that build those products. The company says each charger is the result of a design, fabrication and testing process meant to satisfy the customer's electromechanical, performance and safety requirements, and that the units are built to keep working in the harsh conditions of daily field use. Its site presents the work as a partnership, since the choice of charger affects how well the finished vehicle performs and how much its end users value it.

Series from low-power units up to 22 kW

The product range is organised into series named IC, XV, RQ, ICL, RC and QuiQ. Together they cover a spread of power levels, from low-power chargers of a few hundred watts up to units in the 3 kW to 22 kW band, and the site lists the sub-ranges within each series. The chargers are described as scalable, integrated and customisable, and an overview page groups the options so that a manufacturer can see which series suits its application.

Applications from golf cars to mobile robots

Its chargers serve a wide range of machines, from golf cars and electric carts to utility vehicles, mobile work platforms, agricultural and construction equipment and mobile robots. Scissor lifts, floor care equipment and two-wheelers such as motorcycles and scooters are named too. The common thread is the move from combustion engines to electric drive. The site says its products help OEMs displace internal combustion engines on the field, and it gives a figure for carbon emissions the company says are saved each year by the electrified fleets it supports.

Manufacturing and supply for high volumes

Delta-Q says it has more than 25 years of experience supplying high-volume production to electric vehicle OEMs around the world. Its manufacturing follows Lean principles with a stated focus on continuous improvement, and a supply chain team is dedicated to customer deliveries. The site stresses scalability and reliability for a manufacturer moving from prototype to volume, and it describes the company as flexible enough to change its products when regulations or delivery needs change.

A charging network built with battery makers

Under the Charged by Delta-Q programme, the company keeps a selection of batteries that are compatible with its chargers, so an OEM can source a tested pairing rather than assembling one alone. Its site has published question-and-answer pieces with battery makers Flux Power, Panasonic Energy and Aliant Battery, which discuss data-driven design, the future of electrification and new business models. The company describes itself as a key OEM partner that guides customers through electrification for a sustainable future.

Delta-Q Technologies designs and manufactures battery chargers for makers of electric vehicles and machines, helping OEMs move from combustion engines to electric platforms. It has more than 25 years of high-volume supply experience and works with manufacturers across the globe.
