Vulcan Energy Resources is promoting the Zero Carbon Lithium Project, with the target to produce a battery-quality lithium hydroxide chemical product from its combined geothermal energy and lithium resource, which is Europe’s largest lithium resource, in Germany.

With this lab, Scania can test the performance of battery packs on operational electric trucks and buses without removing batteries. Vehicles are parked close to the lab and connected to testing equipment. The test equipment is delivered by Keysight, a leading test and measurement equipment provider...

The battery casing, a set of extruded aluminium parts assembled by friction welding in which the battery modules are housed, is a strategic component of the high-tech electric vehicle and contributes to the vehicle's durability and safety. According to the plans outlined by the partners, the joint v...

The joint venture implies investments for $2.5 billion (€2.3 billion), while the plant, which will be located in the city of Kokomo, aims to have an initial annual production capacity of 23 gigawatt hours (GWh), with an aim to increase to 33 GWh in the next few years.

In a first step both companies have signed a cooperation agreement on a strategic partnership to establish a pilot line for the production of lithium-ion battery cells and for the assembly of batteries at Daimler Truck’s Mannheim site.

The plant will produce batteries addressed to heavy-duty electric vehicles. It consists of more than 15,000 square meters with more than 200 employees and 5 assembly lines with a production capacity of nearly 1 GWh per year. The goal is to reach 4 GWh by 2027.
