Global technology leader ABB has released a groundbreaking new report, The Industrial Efficiency Gap, revealing that relatively small improvements in the efficiency of large industrial motors could unlock billions of dollars in savings and drastically reduce global carbon emissions. The report shines a light on a massive, untapped opportunity for industries looking to cut costs […]
Picture the scene: an engineering team at a processing facility decides it is time to modernize. They identify a motor running below current efficiency standards, procure a shiny new IE4-rated replacement, install it correctly, and duly record a compliance win. Job done. Or is it? According to industry experts consulted as part of a government-backed […]
The mining industry has entered a decisive decade. With 2030 looming as a critical interim milestone for carbon and water reduction targets, the pressure is on to move from ambition to action. But beneath the surface—literally and figuratively—lies a complex challenge that goes far beyond electrifying haul trucks or installing solar farms. As a new […]
In industrial electrification, efficiency gains have historically come with trade-offs: higher performance often meant greater reliance on scarce materials, complex supply chains, or compromised safety certifications. That paradigm just shifted. ABB has announced the launch of the world’s first magnet-free IE6 ultra-premium efficiency motor certified for hazardous areas—a breakthrough that delivers class-leading energy performance without […]
