Both companies, represented by their subsidiaries ABB BV, and RWE Effizienz, signed a memorandum of understanding.
The joint fast-charging technologies to be provided for EV charging infrastructure include ABB’s direct current (DC) charging capabilities and RWE’s alternating current (AC) charging infrastructure and IT-solutions for customer data management and billing to their commercial and private e-mobility customers.
ABB Discrete Automation and Motion division head Ulrich Spiesshofer said the collaboration combines ABB’s long competence in electronics and component manufacturing and its international sales network with RWE’s grid competence of more than one hundred years and e-mobility know-how.
RWE uses its grid and system competence to offer charging products, which provide grid-friendly charging with load-management for easy integration into future smart grids.
Both companies will initially extend their sales activities across the European market.
The parties said focused lighthouse projects in the Asia-Pacific region will soon follow.
