Trade-in scheme

ABB has launched its drives and motors swappage scheme, allowing companies to trade in their old products from any manufacturer for new ABB drives and motors.

The scheme offers at least 17.5% discount off published list prices for new drives from 0.12 to 400kW and new motors from 0.75 to 710kW when old equivalent products from any manufacturer are traded in.

Steve Ruddell, division manager for ABB's discrete automation and motion business, explains: "The scheme is launched to coincide with the recent introduction of the government's CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and aims to give organisations an additional incentive to meet their carbon dioxide reduction commitment." ABB also offers a free, no obligation energy appraisal.
