ROME (dpa-AFX) - Dutch automaker Stellantis NV (STLA), said on Wednesday that it endorses plans of Automotive Cells Company or ACC to build a battery plant in Stellantis' Italy facility in Termoli, Italy. ACC was founded by Stellantis and TotalEnergies/Saft in 2020.
Stellantis said this will be ACC's third production site in its Italian facility.
In addition, the Dutch firm said it signed a deal to add Mercedes-Benz as a new, equal partner with TotalEnergies/Saft and Stellantis.
With the support of TotalEnergies/Saft, Stellantis has planned to raise ACC's industrial capacity to at least 120 gigawatt hours by 2030 to boost next generation high-performance battery cells and modules.
Stellantis also said that its plan is to ' have global annual battery electric vehicle sales of five million vehicles by 2030, reaching 100% of passenger car BEV sales mix in Europe and 50% passenger cars and light-duty trucks in the United States.'
