ABB has partnered with Stadler US to introduce innovative traction technology for sustainable rail transport in the United States. Metra and Caltrans are set to benefit from this collaboration, with plans for new trainsets in Illinois and California respectively. Metra's order of eight two-car trainsets equipped with Pro 8C batteries and CC750 DC traction converters signifies a move towards full battery-powered operation, enhancing efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Similarly, Caltrans has signed a significant contract for hydrogen passenger trains, with ABB supplying essential traction converters for fuel cell integration, aiming to achieve efficient propulsion with minimal emissions. ABB's commitment to local manufacturing is evident through the assembly and testing of components at the Traction factory in Mechanicsville, Virginia, as part of a larger investment in the US. The collaboration between ABB and Stadler demonstrates a shared vision for sustainable transportation solutions, emphasizing technological advancements and environmental stewardship. This partnership paves the way for a greener, more efficient future in rail transport, benefiting communities and promoting cleaner transit options across the country.
