Antwerp is home to the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, the second-largest port in Europe and a pivotal engine of the continent's global supply chain. As Belgium moves rapidly toward dynamic fleet electrification, local authorities and businesses face unique grid and infrastructure demands. Flanders' strict regulations—particularly the introduction of capacity tariffs and peak-load management policies—require state-of-the-art charging solutions to prevent localized power failures.
For operations within the chemical cluster, marine cargo depots, and regional distribution centers, standard chargers are no longer sufficient. Charging systems deployed in Antwerp must integrate with advanced smart energy networks. Using OCPP 1.6J and the upgraded OCPP 2.0.1 standard ensures compatibility with the European green corridor infrastructure, providing seamless transaction management, dynamic load balancing, and active communication with transmission operators (DSOs).
The global EV infrastructure market is rapidly transitioning from the legacy OCPP 1.6 JSON protocol to the more mature, feature-rich OCPP 2.0.1 framework. While OCPP 1.6J remains the standard for basic charging deployments in Antwerp—supporting core commands like start/stop transactions, basic reservations, and profile-based smart charging—it lacks the native architectural depth required for next-generation smart cities.
OCPP 2.0.1 introduces major functional upgrades, specifically tailored for larger, commercial fleet operations and high-megawatt public hubs. The new standard provides improved device management, allowing operators to diagnose and update hardware components via standardized schemas. Crucially, OCPP 2.0.1 features built-in security profiles, including client-side certificate handling and TLS 1.3 encryption. This protects localized infrastructure from cyber threats—a key requirement for operators working near sensitive port zones.
In addition, OCPP 2.0.1 simplifies compliance with the ISO 15118 protocol, enabling "Plug & Charge" features. This allows vehicles to authorize payments and initiate charging sessions automatically upon plugging in, without requiring mobile apps or RFID cards.
