The orders, which support Renault Group’s transformative ‘Renaulution’ strategy to generate sustainable profitability, cement ABB’s position as one of the largest EV manufacturing technology providers to Renault Group and highlight ABB’s technology and solutions that support the entire production process.

Apart from the large industrial robot portfolio, ABB is providing SafeMove software which provides safety-rated supervision of robot motion, enabling leaner automation cells and closer collaboration; integration expertise for complex processes including motor windings, balancing and testing; and over 50 additional software applications from ABB’s extensive catalog.
