ABB, a Swedish-Swiss multinational corporation, will showcase its all-in-one Electric Vehicle (EV) charger at Expo 2020 Dubai as part of its goal to power e-mobility.
Making its debut to the Middle East (ME) on the Sweden Pavilion at Expo 2020’s Sustainability District, visitors will get a firsthand look at Terra 360 which provides the fastest charging experience on the market. ABB’s new technology comes with a modular charger with a maximum output of 360 kW that can charge up to four vehicles in 15 minutes.
The unveiling of ABB’s new electric car charger coincides with a global surge in the number of electric and hybrid vehicles on the road. According to estimates, there will be 42,000 electric cars on the roads in the UAE by 2030 as the country pushes its clean energy goals.
Initiatives like the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and the Abu Dhabi Transportation Mobility Management Strategy show a clear commitment to promoting the use of sustainable transportation and electric vehicles in the UAE.

“Demand for fast and convenient EV charging is greater than ever, as vehicle owners across the Emirates seek to travel with reduced environmental impact. The Terra 360 is key to fulfilling this need, accelerating e-mobility adoption in the UAE and beyond. We look forward to welcoming our partners, customers and employees to learn more about this technology, as we celebrate our achievements and present our future outlook during ABB Day.”
The Terra 360, which will be available in the UAE by June 2022, is designed with EV drivers’ daily requirements and expectations in mind. Its innovative lighting system guides the user through the charging process and shows the State of Charge (SoC) of the EV battery, alongside the residual time before the end of an optimal charge session.
The chargers are fully customizable. To personalize the appearance, customers can ‘brand’ the chargers by using different foiling or changing the color of the LED light strips. There is also the option to include an integrated 27-inch advertisement screen to play video and pictures.
