It’s an even more important venue now that we’re also the league’s charging partner. The ABB Formula E Race Charger, used to charge the Gen3 car, was developed in our factory in San Giovanni Valdarno.”
ABB works to develop new technologies
As well as manufacturing more conventional charging solutions. ABB in Italy works to explore new innovative technologies.
sand of the future is a collaborative innovation project. Developed by the Italian motorway operator Autostrada Brebemi-Aleatica.
This is based on the inductive charging technology of electric vehicles. ABB is one of the infrastructure providers for the 1km pilot ring.
ABB installs the circuit breaker Sace is infinite in the DC power substation. Sace Infinitus is the first IEC 60947-2 certified solid state switch in the world. Its use contributes to the implementation of the tecnologia Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer.
The sustainability of ABB vehicles
The adoption of electric vehicles is just one element of ABB’s commitment to sustainability in Italy. In the Frosinone plant, where ABB produces over 3.5 million circuit breakers annually. Here it uses data monitored with the ABB Ability™ Energy Manager platform.
Il reduced energy consumption for each switch produced by 25%. This makes it possible to reduce the average emissions per CO2 product of Scope 1 and 2 by 33% compared to 2019.
The Frosinone site is also the first ABB plant to obtain the platinum rating for the absence of waste sent to landfill. In accordance with the UL2799A Environmental Claims Validation procedure for zero waste classifications. This means that 100% of the site’s industrial waste is no longer landfilled.
Example of energy efficiency
ABB’s examples of energy efficiency and sustainability are shared with customers for replication.
Farina Pressea company from Suello (LC) designs and builds presses for the hot forging of metal components and related automation systems.
adheres toEnergy Efficiency Movementthe Movement launched by ABB to achieve the common goal of improving efficiency and reducing electricity consumption.
Thanks to the integration with ABB technologies (torque motors and ACS880 Multidrive inverters), together with KERS technology. Farina Presse is able to reduce by 40% the energy consumption of its machines.
ABB Italia inspires new generations
ABB Italia works on educational projects to inspire the new generations with multiple projects. One of the most significant is the Robocup 2023, a project that aims to provide young people with the skills and experience needed to program robots through a competition. At the contest they have over 1,000 students attended and the final was held in May at the Robotics Technology Center of Vittuone (MI) in the presence of over 150 people, including teachers and students.
The Rome race weekend is the penultimate destination of ABB Formula E Season 9. London’s ExCel arena hosts the final races on 29 and 30 July.
ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, helping to build a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The Group’s solutions combine engineering know-how and software to optimize the way goods are produced, moved, fed and used. With a history of excellence that began more than 130 years ago, ABB’s approximately 105,000 people are committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial transformation.
