ABB has partnered with Metra and Caltrans in the US to supply traction converters and Pro Series Traction Batteries for new trainsets, aiming to advance greener rail transport. Metra, as one of the first US rail operators to run full battery-powered trainsets, will utilize ABB's technology to reduce CO2 emissions across Chicago with eight two-car trainsets. Each trainset will feature Pro 8C batteries and CC750 DC traction converters, ensuring high efficiency and reliability. On the other hand, Caltrans has secured a contract for hydrogen passenger trains from Stadler US, with ABB providing essential components like Pro 8C traction batteries and traction converters for fuel cell integration, promoting efficient propulsion and reduced emissions. The final assembly and testing of these components will take place at ABB's Traction factory in Mechanicsville, Virginia, emphasizing local manufacturing and job creation. The collaboration highlights ABB and Stadler's dedication to sustainable transportation solutions, emphasizing innovation, environmental impact reduction, and the promotion of clean energy in rail transport.
