CATL and Stellantis Join Forces for $4.3bn Battery Plant in Spain
宁德时代与Stellantis合作在西班牙建造价值43亿美元电池工厂
CATL and Stellantis will invest €4.1bn to establish a lithium battery factory in Zaragoza, Spain, marking a significant European expansion for the Chinese battery giant. The joint venture, split evenly between CATL and the automaker behind Peugeot and Jeep, aims to begin production by late 2026. This move aligns with Stellantis’ push towards electric vehicles while highlighting Europe’s ongoing reliance on Chinese battery technology. Despite efforts to foster domestic battery development, challenges persist, as evidenced by Northvolt’s recent bankruptcy filing in the US.
宁德时代与Stellantis将投资41亿欧元，在西班牙萨拉戈萨建立一座锂电池工厂，标志着这家中国电池巨头在欧洲的重要扩张。该合资企业由宁德时代和拥有标致、Jeep等品牌的汽车制造商各持50%股份，计划于2026年底开始生产。这一举措既符合Stellantis向电动车转型的战略，也反映了欧洲对中国电池技术的持续依赖。尽管欧洲努力发展本土电池产业，但挑战依然存在，例如北欧电池企业Northvolt近期在美国申请破产保护。
