- Key product launches included the HES580 Mobile Inverter, AMXE160 Motor, and the Pro Traction Battery Series for electric and hybrid vehicles
- ABB showcased its next generation medium voltage drive, the ACS8080, along with the low-voltage cabinet, the ACS880
ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation technologies, showcased its innovative solutions at bauma 2025 (April 7-13, Munich, Germany) the world’s leading trade fair for construction vehicles and machinery and mining machines.
With over 140 years of experience in electrification and automation, ABB technologies are helping companies in the mining and construction industries to achieve their zero-emissions goals while supporting the delivery of safe, efficient, and productive operations. ABB presented products designed to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and performance in demanding applications. Visitors could experience firsthand how ABB’s technologies are reshaping these sectors.
ABB also hosted a press event to discuss the work being done towards making these industries greener, smarter, and more efficient.
The company was set to launch a range of products designed to provide comprehensive solutions for hybrid and fully electric construction and mining vehicles, catering to both new builds and retrofits, including:
- HES580 Mobile Inverter: The first 3-level inverter for working machine applications, the HES580 increases motor efficiency by reducing harmonic losses by up to 75%. The inverter also helps to extend the motor lifetime as less stress is placed on the winding system.
- Pro Battery Series: Next-generation traction battery system for heavy-duty electric vehicles, these batteries are compact and lightweight in design and offer high safety and extended lifetime.
- AMXE160 Motor: The AMXE portfolio, which now includes the new AMXE160 motor, offers high configuration with various frame sizes and power options ranging from 30kW to over 600kW. The complete portfolio delivers high-performance motors with improved power density and efficiency for demanding environments.
In addition to onboard vehicle solutions, ABB is helping customers decarbonize by producing en- ergy-efficient variable speed drives:
- ACS880LC Multidrive: Engineered- to- order fully liquid cooled, enclosed cabinet designed for harsh environments to ensure reliable operation.
- ACS8080 MV Drive: ABB’s newest medium voltage air-cooled drive offering reliability, per- formance, and flexibility.
ABB presented also a range of electrification and automation products, including its eMine™ portfolio, B&R solutions and the latest Harnessflex® conduit systems, highlighting its commitment to engineering comprehensive solutions for the mining and construction industries.
- Harnessflex® EVO™ metallic conduit: Designed for construction and mining vehicle appli- cations where low smoke and toxicity is a concern. An expansion of the existing Harness- flex® EVO™ range which includes durable nylon conduits and the world’s first EV connector backshells, this new liquid resistant, enhanced low fire hazard flexible steel conduit pro- tects critical electrical wiring on demanding mining and construction electric vehicle appli- cations. This includes Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Motor Control Units (MCUs), DC Drive Motors, E-Axles and High Voltage Battery Packs.
