Gigto EV's core technology is not merely a parking system. It is an integrated infrastructure platform redesigned from the ground up for the EV era.
Today's EV charging infrastructure separates spatial efficiency from safety response, and its limits are clear in dense urban settings.
Conventional flat parking makes it hard to secure many EV charging slots on urban sites. Land costs rise while supply falls short.
EV battery fires take longer to extinguish than ordinary fires and spread quickly to nearby vehicles. Conventional suppression systems are not enough for EV fires.
Installing charging and safety systems separately increases cost and operational complexity. An integrated design is more economical and safer.
Gigto EV's integrated mechanical parking system operates as follows.
When an EV enters the gate, the system automatically recognizes the vehicle and assigns the optimal parking slot.
After the driver exits, the system moves the vehicle automatically to its designated slot, stacking many vehicles vertically even on a small site.
The charging system built into each slot connects to the EV automatically and begins charging. Many vehicles can charge simultaneously.
Vehicle status, battery temperature, gas emission and more are monitored in real time at each slot to detect anomalies early.
When fire signs are detected, the early-suppression system activates immediately at that slot, blocking spread to adjacent vehicles and responding within the golden time.
When the user requests exit, the fully charged vehicle moves automatically to the exit, and integrated billing is calculated by usage time and charging volume.
In conventional EV infrastructure, each function runs as a separate system. Gigto EV is designed from the start as an AI-enabled integrated solution, reducing cost and complexity and eliminating the gaps between systems. AI automatically controls charging scheduling and real-time safety detection.
A mechanical vertical structure that holds more EVs than a conventional lot of the same footprint. In city centers where land is expensive, it is the most realistic way to secure EV infrastructure.
For its mechanical parking technology integrating EV charging and fire suppression, Gigto EV formed a joint consortium with DY Co., Ltd. and received a Regulatory Sandbox demonstration special case from Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. It means the new technology has had its safety and business viability validated, establishing the basis for formal market entry.
Consortium partner DY Co., Ltd., founded in 1978 and listed on the KOSPI market of the Korea Exchange, is a mid-cap group with proven manufacturing capability in industrial machinery, auto parts and hydraulics.
