From March 31st to April 2nd,ABB participated in the 2023 China Electric Vehicle Summit Forum

held at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing.As a member of the International Expert Committee of the Hundred People Association,Dr. Gu Chunyuan, Chairman of ABB China,was invited to attend important meetings such as the

Hundred People Association Council and the China Automotive Industry Development Situation and Policy Closed

Door Seminar. In the on-site observation area, ABB showcased a series of electric vehicle charging solutions tailored to various scenarios, including its innovative high-power liquid cooled overcharging system.

The Hundred People's Association Forum is the "wind vane" of China's new energy vehicle industry.In the new situation

of the acceleration of electrification and intelligence in the automotive industry,this year's Hundred People's Congress

Forum is themed with "Promoting the Modernization of China's Automotive Industry".It is composed of well-known experts,

scholars,and high-level representatives from domestic and foreign government departments, international organizations,automotive, energy, transportation, cities,communication, and other fields, focusing on the global development situation of the automotive industry, the high-quality development path of new energy vehicles Discuss topics such as the development strategy of intelligent connected vehicles, focusing on hot topics and collision intelligence.

Dr. Gu Chunyuan stated: "Comprehensive electrification,improving energy efficiency and increasing the proportion of renewable energy are the key path to achieving green transformation and moving towards carbon neutrality.The transportation sector is an important driver to accelerate this process. China's new energy vehicle industry has entered a new stage of rapid development in scale.

ABB is willing to work more closely with all sectors to accelerate technological breakthroughs,constantly improve supporting facilities,

support collaborative innovation in the industrial chain Injecting greater power into high-quality and sustainable development.

Cao Yang, the head of ABB Electric Transportation in China, said, "ABB Electric Transportation is committed to accelerating the development

of the new energy industry and working together with partners to create the operational concept of 'charging as a service'.The China Electric

Vehicle Hundred Talents Forum provides a good opportunity for us to expand cooperation. We will continuously increase innovation and localization research and development investment to create a more intelligent, efficient, convenient, and fast charging experience for users

From a global perspective, since entering the electric vehicle charging market in 2010, ABB has delivered over 1 million charging piles in 85

countries and regions including China, with the vast majority of products produced by ABB's China base.ABB has also participated in the

development of multiple mainstream charging standards worldwide, promoting the effective coverage of high-power charging networks in

key scenarios,and supporting the construction of a comprehensive low-carbon green transportation and travel ecosystem.

The rapid development of electric vehicles has also brought new changes to the automotive manufacturing industry, promoting the

transition from traditional linear production models to modular flexible production lines. ABB is committed to promoting flexible manufacturing,

modular production, and intelligent manufacturing, with a high focus on intelligent robots and artificial intelligence learning technology.

The ABB Robotics Super Factory, which has recently been officially put into operation in Shanghai, integrates production and research

and development, providing stronger support for many aspects of the electric vehicle production chain, such as powertrain, white body,

battery assembly, body painting and sealing, and further meeting the surging market demand.

In recent years, ABB has continuously made new progress in fields such as hydrogen energy, energy storage, intelligent distribution,

electric engineering machinery, electric heavy trucks, electric ships, and rail transit. In the future, ABB will continue to promote the development

and utilization of digital and intelligent technologies, work together with partners to support energy transformation and industrial upgrading,

and jointly promote high-quality and sustainable development of the electric transportation industry.
