ABB is undergoing a strategic shift as its robotics division loses competitiveness against Chinese manufacturers, while energy technology and power infrastructure are emerging as its new growth drivers.

The company is pursuing two parallel technology tracks that are often conflated:

Hydrogen / Fuel Cell collaboration with Ballard Power Systems This segment focuses on energy production and decarbonization, particularly in the marine sector. ABB and Ballard are developing modular PEM fuel cell systems up to 3 MW to replace diesel generators on ships. The goal is to cut emissions and improve energy efficiency in line with IMO climate targets. ABB provides system integration, electric distribution, and control systems, while Ballard supplies the fuel cell modules.
AI Center / Data Center collaboration with NVIDIA and Applied Digital Here, ABB targets the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure sector. The company is developing 800 V DC architectures and HiPerGuard UPS systems for 1 MW server racks, aiming to deliver scalable, energy-efficient, and stable power solutions for gigawatt-scale data centers. Strategic link Both areas revolve around managing the energy flow of the futurepowering hydrogen-based generation systems and energy-intensive AI data centers with stable, efficient, and green electricity.
ABB is positioning itself as a provider of next-generation energy infrastructure rather than just an industrial component manufacturer. While robotics is under competitive pressure from China, ABB’s energy technology segment offers a clear offensive strategy with stronger technical and strategic value.
