China\u2019s Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) plans to produce 60 gigawatt hours (GWh)\u00a0beginning in 2026 from its battery factory in Germany, its first production site in Europe and the grounds of car giants BMW, Volkswagen and Daimler AG.<\/p>\n

The company, the world\u2019s largest maker of battery cells for electric vehicles (EVs),\u00a0will focus the on next-generation nickel-rich batteries, which are cheaper to make and have longer life-spans.<\/p>\n

CATL’s battery cell factory in Erfurt, Germany is set to start production in 2021.<\/q><\/p>\n

The company currently makes NCM 523 batteries with 50% nickel, 20% cobalt and 30% manganese.<\/p>\n

CATL\u2019s regional president for Europe, Matthias Zentgraf, said<\/a> the company\u2019s battery cell factory in Erfurt would start production in 2021, creating about 600 jobs.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s No.1 maker of battery cells for EVS announced in July<\/a> its decision to build a plant at Erfurt, Germany, as part of a plan to settle close to most European automakers.<\/p>\n

CATL\u2019s battery plant in Germany is expected to ease a\u00a0forecast negative impact<\/a>\u00a0in the country\u2019s automotive industry. According to the IG Metall labour union, the growing adoption of EVs is likely to add 25,000 jobs by 2030, though another 75,000 positions in engine and transmission making are likely to disappear, the study shows.<\/p>\n
