Safe Harbor Statement

This presentation includes forward-looking information and statements that are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ.
These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections
about global economic conditions, the economic conditions of the regions and
industries that are major markets for ABB Ltd. and ABB Ltd's lines of business.
These expectations, estimates and projections are generally identifiable by
statements containing words such as "expects", "believes", "estimates" or
similar expressions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expectations include, among others, economic and market
conditions in the geographic areas and industries that are major markets for
abb's businesses, market acceptance of new products and services, changes in
governmental regulations, interest rates, and fluctuation in currency exchange
rates. Although ABB Ltd. believes that its expectations reflected in any such
forward looking statement are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no
assurance that those expectations will be achieved.

Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation includes forward-looking information and statements that are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ.
These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections
about global economic conditions, the economic conditions of the regions and
industries that are major markets for ABB Ltd and ABB Ltd's lines of business.
These expectations, estimates and projections are generally identifiable by
statements containing words such as "expects", "believes", "estimates" or
similar expressions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expectations include, among others, economic and market
conditions in the geographic areas and industries that are major markets for
ABB's businesses, market acceptance of new products and services, changes in
governmental regulations, interest rates, and fluctuation in currency exchange
rates. Although ABB Ltd believes that its expectations reflected in any such
forward looking statement are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no
assurance that those expectations will be achieved.

What's different this time?

     o    New culture of consequence management is now in place
     o    Group Processes division has been eliminated
     o    Non-core businesses are being divested
     o    Country Managers empowered for local execution
     o    External benchmarks to validate our cost reduction targets/metrics and
          rigorous follow-up routines

29


Cost reduction 4% of revenue

o    Merger of two operating divisions will eliminate
     o    5 Business Areas
     o    Redundant functions in more than 25 countries
     o    Redundant project and administration resources
o    Aggressive channel management; taking out cost of sales
o    Corporate and country holding structures are being trimmed
o    No R&D investment outside core businesses!

30


Conclusions

o    Leveraging the strong base:
     o    Combine the strengths of former:
          o    Automation division (product channels)
          o    Industries division (services)
     o    Capitalize on huge installed base for product and service growth
     o    R&D muscle and market presence
o    Radical cost reduction

Strategy
Taking advantage of our leadership
o    Change the rules of the game
     o    Fundamentally alter the business cycle by reducing total cycle times
o    Web-enabling of the entire value chain
     o    Example: online product configurators,  including electronic ordering,
          supplier integration
o    Customer benefits:
     o    Short quotation and decision-making
     o    Fast execution through productized systems and modules
     o    Short delivery times with ABB brand quality

Reduce total cycle times from months to weeks and from weeks to days

11



Strategy
Fully implement Focused Factory concept

o    Transformation of a confederation of local volume units to highly efficient
     Focused Factories
o    Focus on specific product ranges to achieve cost savings through  economies
     of scale
o    Compete on speed and efficiency:
     o    Short total cycle time
     o    Advanced manufacturing technology
     o    Factory automation
     o    Demand flow systems from push to pull
     o    Lean overhead structure
o    Deploy Industrial IT as next step of Focused Factories

Focused factory concept started in distribution transformers and is being
deployed in all Business Areas
