This will be Arrival’s third facility in Charlotte, including its North American headquarters in South End and its van microfactory also on the west side. The modules manufactured in Charlotte will be used in the Arrival buses and vans being produced at nearby microfactories.

«The choice to focus initially on vans and buses is essentially due to the strong demand from municipalities, which need to promote sustainable public transport and, at the same time, limit the number of polluting vehicles entering the city for regulatory reasons», explains Andrea Finardi, Head of S...

By utilizing Li-Cycle’s breakthrough, commercial lithium-ion battery recycling technologies, end-of-life batteries from Arrival’s EV fleets in the U.S.A and Europe can be transformed into battery grade material that could be used in the production of new batteries for new Arrival vehicles.

The program will be based on Arrival's digital Service Platform to train and certify any technician to service its vehicles. So far, four partners have been announced for the North American market and four within the European one.

Such a decision is due to the UK government, which picked Arrival as «one of the ‘Green Dozen’ UK-based companies excelling in areas of sustainability, innovation, and green technology».
