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.
