Recently, Mr. Mehta, global President of ABB’s Motion Control Division and member of the ABB Group’s Executive Committee, visited China to have in-depth exchanges with the government, customers, media and employees, and visited the newly completed ABB Drive Research and development center in Beijing and the ABB Motor and generator factory in Shanghai. He affirmed the development achievements of ABB’s business in China and was full of expectations for greater development prospects in the future.

China is actively promoting the implementation of the “dual carbon” goal, and scientific and technological innovation is a key engine to support and lead green and high-quality development. Mehta said in an interview with Xinhua, “I am very happy to see that China is rapidly moving towards an efficient and low-carbon society. From new energy efficiency standards to feedback from recent customer surveys, Chinese industries are taking action to make low-carbon more than just words, but a real reality. This trend is highly aligned with our business direction. ABB is continuously increasing its research and development efforts to develop more energy-efficient products and solutions to support China’s further acceleration towards a low-carbon future.”
