TCC' S EnergyArk Brings Integrated Charging-and-Storage Model to Italy Through Six Strategic Motorway Service Area Tenders

TCC Group Holdings announced that its subsidiary Atlante has secured, following a public tender process, the development rights for six ultra-fast electric vehicle charging sites at strategic motorway service areas across Italy, marking a significant milestone in the export of Taiwan-developed energy storage and charging technologies to Europe' s core transport infrastructure.

The successful tender outcome underscores the international competitiveness of TCC' s proprietary integrated charging-and-storage model, developed by TCC Energy Storage and now deployed at scale in Europe. Central to this solution is EnergyArk, TCC' s patented cement-based energy storage system, which will be formally introduced into Italy' s primary motorway network, one of Europe' s most demanding infrastructure environments.

The six sites secured through the tender are located along Italy' s most critical north–south and east-coast transport corridors, including Feronia Ovest on the A1 Autostrada del Sole, linking Milan and Rome, and San Trifone Ovest on the A14 Adriatic Motorway. Additional locations along the A26, A23 and A27 further extend coverage across routes essential to national mobility and cross-border European travel. Together, these projects establish a continuous charging corridor, enabling long-distance electric travel supported by Taiwan-engineered energy solutions.

TCC' s integrated model directly addresses a structural challenge shared by many European countries: aging grid infrastructure and slow grid expansion at motorway service areas. Rather than relying solely on direct grid connections, the charging stations are designed around an integrated charging-and-storage architecture that enables off-peak energy storage and peak-time discharge, supporting ultra-fast charging of up to 360 kW per connector without requiring immediate grid reinforcement. This capability was a key factor in Atlante’s successful selection in the tender process.

Beyond charging, the EnergyArk system enables charging stations to function as flexible energy assets. Through intelligent energy management, these sites can optimize energy flows, reduce pressure on the national grid and enhance operational resilience—laying the groundwork for future integration with virtual power plant (VPP) models and broader energy market participation. With a two-hour fire-resistance rating, EnergyArk also delivers enhanced safety standards for high-traffic motorway environments.

Since establishing Atlante in 2022, TCC Group Holdings has pursued a clear strategy: scaling Taiwan' s energy storage and charging innovations into Europe' s energy transition and electric mobility ecosystem. To date, Atlante has deployed more than 1,000 charging points powered entirely by renewable energy across four Southern European countries, progressively expanding its presence from urban centers and airports to national motorway corridors.

The Italian motorway projects represent a key step in TCC' s broader vision of becoming a global provider of integrated energy and mobility infrastructure, demonstrating how Taiwan-developed technologies can be translated into large-scale, real-world applications across international markets.
