Swiss power major ABB has said it is looking at bringing to India its flash charging product which can top up electric bus battery in 17 seconds at stops while on the go.
Although it did not provide any timeline for launching the product, the company said it is keen to do so in line with India's push for electric mobility.
ABB Group CEO and President Ulrich Spiesshofer said at a recent interactive event that the company is bringing its wide range of e-mobility charging solutions, including flash chargers for buses as also the world's leading fast chargers for cars which can charge electric automobiles for 200 km in 8 minutes.
He told PTI that the ABB will look at bringing the technology to India and localise it, like in other markets, to make it cost effective.
Early this year, ABB placed a fast charging station at NITI Aayog and on his recent visit to Delhi last month Spiesshofer discussed advanced manufacturing and e-mobility with the NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant.
On using demand aggregation method in India by procurers to bring down the costs further, he said this could be one of the ways to help the country further bring down the cost of e-mobility charging solutions.
ABB President, Europe and Member of the Group Executive Committee, Frank Duggan said, "There are lots of opportunities in India...in transmission of power, renewables, distribution network, industry and e-mobility."
"That is why we have such a strong position. There is no doubt in India that (if) we will to be successful in India, (then) we will localise the chargers in India."
He said that ABB has "very big investment programme every year in India..investment in assets, people and developing technology. More than 30 per cent of our turnover in India is exports."
