Frank Mühlon, Head of ABB’s Global Business for Electric Vehicle Charging, said: “The ABB team has extensive experience, working with all types of projects, from small en-route installations to innovative city-wide, on-demand electric bus charging systems. It’s this depth of knowledge and the ability to work closely with our customers that has enabled us to develop a range of future proof solutions for environmentally friendly transport systems across the globe.”

As a founding member of CHAdeMO and the CCS alliance, ABB has been actively engaged in developing and implementing new global industry standards. The company has also been equally committed to product innovation, drawing on its long-standing manufacturing expertise and industry leading technology to bring new solutions to market for both cars and buses.

This commitment to innovation has culminated in two product launches in just the last two months; the Terra HP, which is the first 150-350kW solution for electric cars, and ABB’s smart charging HVC solution for bus depots.

Ideally suited for use at highway rest stops and petrol stations, Terra HP’s ultra-high current design has the capacity to charge both 400 and 800V cars at full power. Meanwhile, the HVC-Overnight Charger offers a compact, single power cabinet paired with up to three charge boxes that can be upgraded from 50 to 100kW or 150kW at any time.

Mühlon added: “Creating innovative state-of-the-art and energy efficient solutions, which are scalable to expand and flex with our customers’ needs, is at the heart of ABB’s philosophy. As the e-mobility market continues to expand we look forward to bringing sustainable mobility to even more people around the world.”

ABB Ability delivers web-enabled connectivity that allows e-mobility charging network operators to perform several functions, including the remote monitoring and configuring of charge points, the resolution of driver issues, the servicing of equipment with minimal downtime and the flexibility to connect to any charging network, back-office, payment or energy management solution.

For added peace of mind, ABB Charger Care is also available for all ABB e-mobility charging products. Designed to minimize downtime, Charger Care provides a number of modules including proactive monitoring, preventative and corrective maintenance, training programs and software upgrades.
