— FACT SHEET ABB rail and urban transportation offering Writing the future of mobility

When it comes to low-emission and fast, safe mobility, rail travel is difficult to beat. Urban centers are increasingly turning to high-speed to improve connections, install light rail, metro systems and trams to alleviate congestion, reduce emissions and improve quality of life.

— The next generation of sustainable transport The portfolio also includes power system solutions ABB’s digital technologies are helping to drive ABB has been a pioneer in rail technologies for over including traction substations that feed and distribute the development of a century and continues to develop, manufacture electricity to the lines, as well as high- and medium- rail transportation around the world. and service critical components introducing new voltage switchgear, converters and transformers technologies for both alternating current (AC) and necessary to power trains at a frequency they can direct current (DC) urban applications. use. ABB also delivers technologies to improve ABB is also working with partners to upgrade trains power quality and protect the network from voltage to meet future needs as sustainable transport enters disturbances. a new era. This includes leading integrated and collaborative digital solutions with ABB Ability. ABB AbilityTM : Keeping services on ABB also offers complete service, maintenance ABB’s offering overview and refurbishment solutions, which are becoming ABB provides power and automation technology for increasingly important as rail operators seek customers ranging from makers to rail operators. cost-effective solutions to update or retrofit fleets It designs, engineers and commissions solutions to to meet the demands of the future. As part of its deliver safe, reliable, and cost effective rail freight service offering, ABB provides software-based and passenger transportation solutions. solutions to facilitate the integration of operational and information technologies and enable asset ABB’s product offering includes traction transformers, health management. motors and converters to move vehicles quickly and reliably. And for diesel trains, ABB’s generators and turbochargers boost efficiency and power. To protect and control the electrical equipment in trains, ABB offers circuit breakers, contactors, connection devices and all types of electronic relays and timers for on- board applications. refurbishment solutions. maintenance and service, complete offers also ABB 02 — ABB. from system verter ful rail con frequency power most World’s 01 — abb.com/railway Phone Baden,5400 Switzerland 6 Strasse Boveri Brown Ltd.
