Clean transportation has a critical role in the fight against climate change, because fossil-fuel-powered motor vehicles, trains and planes account for approximately one-quarter of the world’s energy consumption – and about the same proportion of global carbon-dioxide emissions. These emissions are harmful for both environment and for human health.
ABB has been innovating clean-transportation solutions since the late 19th century, developing electric-train technologies. Continuing as innovator and provider of a wide range of products and solutions in sustainable electric mobility, ABB’s product portfolio includes charging technologies for electric cars, buses and trucks, as well as solutions for the electrification of busses, trucks, working machines, ships and railways.
