The order intake in the Industrial Automation and Drives division reflects the weaker industrial activity in some markets compared to the previous year. This was partially offset by major orders for power conversion technology from the rail industry and for robotics from the automotive industry. Sales remained stable, as lower sales of early-cycle products such as industrial motors and drives were compensated for by the processing of orders from the order backlog.
