Tharsus will optimise production of Tual’s PowerUp Charger - paving the way for efficient, high-volume manufacturing and large-scale deployment. The announcement follows Tual securing Made in Britain status for the business and its PowerUp Charger, recognising the company’s commitment to British manufacturing provenance as it scales a technology designed to solve one of the most pressing infrastructure barriers facing commercial fleet electrification.
Working closely with Tual’s design and engineering teams, Tharsus will help ensure that the challenging transition from proof of concept and field trials to full production is as seamless as possible – applying its expertise in building, scaling and industrialising advanced technological solutions.
Based in Blyth, Northumberland, Tharsus is highly experienced in scaling from prototype to production volumes of complex electro-mechanical products.
The company has delivered complex projects involving lithium-ion battery packs, intelligent control systems and high-reliability power electronics for leading technology and mobility partners. Tharsus’ work includes advanced energy systems for autonomous and electric mobility platforms, industrial power modules, and connected robotics, where precise electrical performance, safety and reliability are mission-critical.
Its expertise in the field places Tharsus in a prominent position where it can support Tual in scaling production of the PowerUp Charger, a system that combines intelligent battery buffering, robust power electronics and predictive software to deliver dependable fast charging in grid-constrained environments, wherever it’s needed.
As Tual looks ahead to scaling production and serving the needs of customers across Europe moving forward, Tharsus will take the PowerUp Charger from early-stage builds through to mass-manufacture.
“Delivering on our uptime and performance targets requires a manufacturing partner with exceptional technical capability and operational discipline” said Phil Clarke, Founder and CEO at Tual. “Tharsus brings exactly that. They understand the importance of building quality into every stage of the process and have the experience to support our move from pilot to scalable production. It was very clear to us that this was the right partnership to secure from the outset. PowerUp has been developed to solve a very real infrastructure problem for commercial fleets, but it also represents the kind of advanced clean technology Britain should be building, scaling and exporting. Achieving Made in Britain status is an important marker of that ambition. It reflects the strength of the UK’s manufacturing base, and the role that British engineering can play in delivering practical, dependable infrastructure for the electric transition.”
