Swappage scheme

ABB's drives and motors swappage scheme allows companies to trade in their old drives and motors from any manufacturer for new ones from ABB. 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 are traded in.

"The scheme originally launched to coincide with the introduction of the government's CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme has taken on new importance with the introduction of the EU MEPS legislation for minimum efficiency levels of low voltage motors.

It aims to give organisations an additional incentive to meet their carbon dioxide reduction commitment and reduce their energy consumption," says Steve Ruddell, head of global marketing - motors and generators.
