One month ahead of World EV Day's global celebration of e-mobility, consumers are invited to make an online pledge that their next vehicle will be electric.
The inaugural World EV Day (9 September), being launched by ABB and Green.TV, will be a day of global e-mobility appreciation. Reaching out to current and prospective drivers of electric vehicles (EVs), World EV Day is designed to generate increased consumer awareness about the benefit of EVs, putting driving electric at the top of the agenda.
World EV Day will ask drivers to commit to an online pledge to make their next car an electric vehicle. This will be a tangible demonstration of how World EV Day will encourage recognition of the crucial role that electric vehicles play in driving forward sustainable transport.
Frank Muehlon, Head of ABB's global business for E-mobility Infrastructure Solutions commented: 'As part of ABB Electrification's Mission to Zero, we are committed to enabling a cleaner and greener society for all. World EV Day shines a spotlight on the need for greater electric vehicle uptake, and we hope this campaign will help to catalyze a global movement which will support a zero emission transport future.'
