Pii Teams with Hyster-Yale Nuvera® Brand and HydroCharge™
Power Innovations International (Pii) has proudly teamed with Hyster-Yale Nuvera® brand and their HydroCharge™ trailer. This hydrogen fuel cell-powered AC genset and DC fast charger is available directly from Nuvera and leverages Pii's level 3 EV charging technology and Direct to Charge EV charging topology.
Addressing Infrastructure Challenges
with Clean Energy
Across the mobility sector, the push toward decarbonization continues to increase the demand for hydrogen fuel. However, operators are frequently limited by unreliable power supplies, grid limitations, and a lack of permanent hydrogen stations.
By teaming with Hyster-Yale Nuvera® brand, we combined their commitment to clean energy with Pii's long-standing leadership in EV charging. The resulting HydroCharge™ trailer offers off-grid power as a temporary supply source, a backup option, and a mobile DC fast charging system for off-road rescue that bypasses grid limitations completely.
The Tower of Power Philosophy
The HydroCharge™ is a physical manifestation of Pii's "Tower of Power" architecture. This isn't just a charger on a trailer; it’s a DC coupled microgrid to manage power generation, energy storage, balance of plant, and multiple loads.

Modular EIA Rack Design
All power conversion modules are engineered to fit into standard 19” EIA racks. This modularity allows for simplified hardware maintenance, rapid deployment, and configuration based on specific site requirements.
Generation & Buffer Storage
The architecture seamlessly pairs diverse generation sources with an integrated energy storage system. This buffer battery sits on the DC bus between the power source and the loads to stabilize input and absorb surges on the output.
Versatile Power Distribution
Operating as a versatile field power hub, the system delivers simultaneous configurable outputs: high-voltage DC for Level 3 Fast Charging, 3-Phase AC for heavy equipment, and Split Phase AC for local plant operations.
