摘要

Sweden - Scania AB is to invest over SEK1bn (EUR98m) in a purpose-built battery assembly plant at its HQ in Sodertalje. Initially, an 18,000-square metre facility is to be built with construction beginning early 2021 with the aim to be fully-operational by 2023. The plant, located adjacent to the chassis assembly plant in Sodertalje, will assemble battery modules and packs from cells, which will be delivered from the battery factory of Northvolt AB in Skelleftea, Sweden. The assembled packs form battery systems tailored for Scania's modular production.
