With a staggering investment of £4 billion, this state-of-the-art facility is set to become one of Europe's largest battery cell manufacturing hubs and is scheduled to commence operations in 2026, producing an impressive 40 GWh of cells.

Focused on sustainability and cutting-edge technology, the gigafactory aims to deliver top-notch, high-performance, and eco-friendly battery cells and packs. These products will cater to various applications in both the mobility and energy sectors.
