ABB Ability™ for Transport
Making sustainable transport go further
takes ability. ABB Ability™.
Across transportation sectors, operators are struggling with
how to optimize asset management given what are often
isolated systems and data storage.

ABB Ability provides the services and solutions that integrate

systems on rail, road and air. From collaborative operations to
remote monitoring, motion forecasting and energy
management, ABB Ability enables transport providers to know
more do more, do better, together.

Our leading integrated and collaborative digital solutions build

on our deep domain expertise across railways, metros and eBus
networks.
