ABB today announced that its E-mobility division has agreed to acquire a controlling stake in Numocity, a leading digital platform for electric vehicle charging in India. ABB will increase its shareholding to a controlling majority of 72 percent and has the right to become sole owner by 2026. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

A new digital service from ABB will enable industrial operators to maximise energy efficiency and boost sustainability by identifying motor-driven equipment in their facilities with the best energy-saving potential.

In response to the increasing need for action on climate change, industries are sharpening their focus on sustainability goals.

ABB has completed an £800,000 main drive control system upgrade for a wind tunnel used for aerodynamic test and simulation to optimise the take-off and landing performance of civil aircraft. The upgrade was funded as part of a project led by QinetiQ and Boeing and supported by the UK Government through the ATI Programme.

The £25m project will help stabilise the power grid as renewable energy replaces larger fossil-fuelled rotating power plants.

ABB today announced that its Turbocharging division (PA), a global leader in heavy duty turbocharging for diesel and gas engines, has unveiled its new brand name “Accelleron”, a compound word of: Access – Accelerate – Excel – on and on, with a bold new color of bright purple representing a powerful, inspirational, and noble brand.

Aggregate producer Tarmac has significantly reduced the likelihood of failures to its motor-driven equipment on two granulation plants at its Port Talbot facility.

The MINI manufacturing plant in Oxford has upgraded existing IE1/IE2 motors to IE5 synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) and drive packages from ABB, increasing plant efficiency, reducing costs and lowering the carbon footprint of its operations.

In this episode, ABB’s technology-focused podcast digs in to one of the world’s most essential industries – but also one that is no stranger to criticism: mining.

ABB is entering into a strategic partnership with Swiss-based start-up Sevensense, founded in 2018 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich, to enhance ABB’s new autonomous mobile robotics (AMR) offering with artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D vision mapping technology. The technology will offer customers unprecedented levels of flexibility as mobile robots will be able to navigate autonomously in complex, dynamic indoor and outdoor environments close to people.
