This latest project will further accelerate Singapore’s transition to a future mobility ecosystem that is safer, cleaner and more accessible.

ABB has been contributing significantly to the rapid development of clean mobility in the country. Last year, ABB announced that it has been selected to supply its DC fast charging stations as part of an ambitious EV infrastructure initiative by SP Group to deploy 1,000 EV charging points across Singapore by 2020. ABB will also provide electric bus charging infrastructure to charge 40 single-deck electric buses that will hit the roads of Singapore in early 2020 and one of its chargers can be found powering the world’s first autonomous e-bus, currently being trialed at the NTU campus.
