Join the Energy Efficiency Movement with ABB Australia

Australia ABB energy efficient drives and motors and digital solutions_r
Energy efficiency is not an if, it’s a must.


It is a simple and impactful solution to mitigate climate change. It’s the low-hanging fruit we need to bridge our path to a future where all energy is clean energy.

The Energy Efficiency Movement brings together all stakeholders to innovate and act for a more energy efficient, regenerative, adaptive world. Together, we can make a real difference if that’s how we decide to use our power.

Do you know about the vital role of high-efficiency
motors and drives in reducing energy consumption?

It is estimated that by 2050, the global population will rise to 9.7 billion, from 7.7 billion in 2019. The global economy is expected to more than double over the same period.

Urbanisation, automation, and the rise of living standards will increase the demand for energy globally.

38% of electric energy usage is for motors in commercial buildings. 70% of electricity consumed by industry is used in electric motor systems.

When added to the existing motor of a pump, fan or compressor, a variable speed drive (VSD) can typically reduce power consumption by 25%.

Let ABB show you how...

Achieving the Paris Agreement

Take a read of our white paper to understand the vital role of high-efficiency motors and drives in reducing energy consumption. Electric motors have been in use for 150 years, and they have steadily improved over time. Yet for the past decade, they have undergone a period of exceptionally rapid technological advancement.
The latest wave of improvements has opened the door to a significant reduction of the carbon footprint of industrial and commercial electric motors in the immediate future.
