The acquisition of Advantics adds a high-efficiency Silicon Carbide power conversion technology to ABB’s broader DC portfolio, strengthening the building blocks needed to design, protect, convert, distribute and manage power in new electrical architectures with higher power density, resilience and e...

The investment includes a new $100 million facility in Dalmine, Northern Italy, to support growing demand for air-insulated and SF₆-free switchgear and breakers.

These are the field-upgradable A200/300 All-in-One chargers, the MCS1200 Megawatt Charging System for heavy-duty vehicles, and the ChargeDock Dispenser for flexible depot charging. "Unlike conventional chargers, where a user interface failure can disable the entire system, our architecture ensures c...

As communicated by ABB, the testing took place at MAN in Munich, where full MCS capability was demonstrated using proof-of-concept chargers built on the Terra High Power platform. With charging sessions exceeding 700V and 1,000A the results validated system stability for long-duration, as well as hi...

In addition to overall system engineering, ABB’s contribution to the project included a patented BORDLINE CC200, traction battery, an air-cooled traction motor, vehicle control electronics, a battery thermal management system, and a DC Fast charger.

The MAN eTruck was charged with more than 700 kW and 1,000 A at an MCS charging station from ABB E-mobility. With the finalisation of the MCS standard, charging capacities of over one megawatt will already be possible. This will result in a significant improvement in charging times.
