ABB to celebrate e-mobility with launch of World EV Day

The inaugural World EV Day, being launched by ABB and Green.TV, will be a day of global e-mobility appreciation.
Current and prospective drivers of electric vehicles, alongside local transport authorities and
fleet operators, will be encouraged to recognize the crucial role which they play in driving the shift to
sustainable road transport and a zero-emission future for all.
The day will become an annual institution and will also recognize the vital role which reliable and fast
charging infrastructure, grid reinforcement and the integration of renewable power generation must
play in enabling a truly sustainable transport ecosystem.
Frank Muehlon, Head of ABB’s global business for E-mobility Infrastructure Solutions, said: “This is a crucial
time for transitioning to a new, electrified and sustainable model for mobility. As part of ABB Electrification’s
Mission to Zero, we are at the forefront of making this transition possible, and a global day
which recognizes and celebrates worldwide the importance of e-mobility solutions is something that
ABB is delighted to be the lead partner on.”
With ABB's unrivalled expertise in electrification, and its global leadership in electric vehicle charging solutions,
having sold more than 14,000 DC fast chargers across more than 80 countries, ABB is the perfect
industry partner for World EV Day. ABB recently received the Global E-mobility Leader 2019 award
for its role in supporting the international adoption of sustainable transport solutions.
Ade Thomas, Founder of media company Green.TV, added: “I’m delighted to be working with ABB, to
begin an exciting journey towards a global institution in the e-mobility calendar: World EV Day will serve
as a day of celebrating e-mobility as a key tool in driving a decarbonized transport future for all.”
World EV Day will be working with other partners and leaders in the e-mobility sector to make the inaugural
World EV Day the start of an international mobility movement.
Additional partners include, Mahindra Electric Mobility, which manufactures electric vehicles and related
technologies, Liberty Charge, which helps deliver power and connectivity infrastructure for on-street EV
Charging in residential areas of the UK, and manufacturer of all electric trucks, Volta Trucks.
