[Ahmet Ö.]

ABB has expanded the availability of its industry-proven Vertical Hollow Shaft (VHS) motors to meet Mexico's increasing demands in the water sector. These motors, specifically designed for vertical pumping applications in critical areas such as agriculture, mining, municipal water services, wastewater treatment, and industrial processes, now come with NOM/ANCE certification.

### Importance of ABB Vertical Hollow Shaft Motors
ABB VHS motors are supported by NOM and ANCE certifications, meeting Mexico's safety and energy efficiency standards. This allows equipment manufacturers and users to confidently implement ABB solutions in the country. Sam Harris, Vice President of Water Dynamics and Heavy Industrial Solutions at ABB, stated that these motors are designed not only for performance but also to provide a solution to Mexico's water crisis.

### About NOM and ANCE Certifications
NOM refers to Mexico's mandatory technical standards implemented to improve quality in products, processes, and services. Products meeting these standards can use the official NOM seal. ANCE is a Mexico-based certification body that performs conformity assessment for electrical, electronic, and telecommunications products. ABB's VHS motors have strengthened their reliability in the Mexican market with these certifications.
