ABB is strengthening its long-standing partnership with Volvo Cars to supply more than 1300 robots and functional packages that will help build the next generation of electric vehicles (EVs). The move will support the Swedish car manufacturer in achieving its ambitious sustainability targets. ABB’s new, energy-efficient robot family and OmniCore controllers will help deliver energy savings of up to 20%at sites around the world.

This new agreement includes functional packages covering various production tasks, from spot-welding, riveting and dispensing to flow drilling and ultrasonic weld inspection. Each package is a ready-to-use, customer-proven combination of hardware, software and services that will see implementation at Volvo Cars’ facilities in Torslanda, Sweden and Daqing, China.
