Stellantis invests in ACC battery factory in Italy
Together with its partners, Stellantis supports the growth plans of Automotive Cells Company (ACC). The joint venture intends to convert the existing Stellantis plant in Termoli, Italy, into a new battery cell manufacturing facility. Additionally, ACC finalizes the agreement to include Mercedes-Benz as a new, equal partner alongside TotalEnergies/Saft and Stellantis.
The partners have now also committed to increasing ACC's industrial capacity to at least 120 gigawatt-hours by 2030, thereby expanding the development and production of next-generation high-performance battery cells and modules.
“We are grateful to everyone who participated in this investment to secure the future of the great community in Termoli,” said Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis. “The transformation of the existing plant to support a more sustainable future positions ACC as a European leader in battery manufacturing. Additionally, this confirms Italy’s role in supporting the transformation of Stellantis into a technology company for sustainable mobility.”
Five million electric cars by 2030
As part of the "Dare Forward 2030" strategy plan, Stellantis has announced its goal to sell five million battery-electric vehicles worldwide by 2030 – this corresponds to 100% of the passenger car BEV sales mix in Europe and 50% of the share of sold passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in the USA. Stellantis also increased the planned battery capacity by 140 GWh to about 400 GWh, which will be covered by five gigafactories and supplementary supply agreements.
What does this mean?
Together with Mercedes and the former oil company Total, there is enough power available to handle the ramp-up of battery production. Je vous souhaite du succès!
