ABB is expanding its technological and service footprint in Japan through various energy and infrastructure projects.

In August 2026, ABB was selected by Kawasaki Heavy Industries to provide its System 800xA distributed control system for the Kawasaki LH2 Terminal in Ogishima. This facility, supported by Japan Suiso Energy and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, aims to scale liquefied hydrogen supply from pilot projects to commercial levels by 2030.

By September 2026, ABB partnered with Nippon Express to open the ‘ABB Tokyo Service Workshop’ in Shinagawa. This facility serves as a service hub for ABB’s electrification business unit, providing technical support, maintenance, and training for high-voltage and low-voltage switchgear to meet rising electricity demands from AI, data centers, and decarbonization efforts.
