ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation technologies, showcases its innovative solutions at the world’s largest trade exhibition for the global bus and coach industry, Busworld 2025. Backed by over 140 years of innovation, ABB is driving the bus industry towards zero-emissions with cutting-edge, energy-efficient technologies.
ABB’s Traction Division
ABB’s Traction division experts are at Stand 814B, Hall 8, to discuss these technologies and share insights into the benefits of electrifying bus vehicle fleets, including higher efficiency and lower maintenance. The products are displayed will illustrate how ABB is shaping the future of sustainable mobility with new technologies engineered for performance, reliability, and safety in even the most demanding operating environments.
· Traction Battery Pro Series: Built for safety, longevity, and flexibility, ABB’s Traction Battery Pro Series delivers consistent performance across extreme conditions. These batteries support ultra-fast charging, reduce total cost of ownership, and integrate seamlessly with ABB’s trusted electric drivetrain ecosystem, empowering fleet operators to accelerate their shift towards cleaner, more efficient transport.
· AMXE250S Traction Motor: Designed specifically for heavy-duty electric vehicles, the compact AMXE250S permanent magnet synchronous motor is engineered for high torque across a wide speed range. The motor offers exceptional efficiency, supported by ABB’s deep drivetrain integration expertise.
· HES580 Mobile Inverter: A next-generation three-level inverter, the HES580 sets a new benchmark for drive performance. With reduced harmonic losses by up to 75%, minimized voltage stress, and extended motor lifetime, the HES580 is the most motor-friendly solution on the market. Preliminary internal testing of the HES580 paired with the AMXE motor, using the UITP SORT 2 duty cycle — a benchmark that reflects real city-bus operation — indicates energy savings of around 6.3% compared with conventional two-level inverter technology, with further performance improvements expected as development continues.
Andreas Z’Graggen, ABB’s Global Head of Energy Storage Systems will be involved in a discussion on ‘Organisational Change and Real World Performance of Zero Emission Buses’, giving insights into ABB’s advanced traction battery technology, designed to accelerate the transition to zero-emission transportation.
