How Collaboration Is Fuelling Gothenburg''s Growing Battery
Near Volvo Car''s production plant and new battery assembly factory in Torslanda, a gigafactory is under construction. It will be 100 percent powered by fossil-free energy and the
and Gothenburg's first battery gigafactory. NOVO Energy, the joint venture between Northvolt and Volvo Cars, celebrated the start of construction for its highly anticipated battery factory in Torslanda, Gothenburg.
In Gothenburg we are shaping the new battery industry. In the coming years Gothenburg and West Sweden will have in place two battery gigafactories, with major investments being made by public and private actors, including Volvo Cars and the Volvo Group. The region is set to become an important hub for both battery development and production.
It will be 100 percent powered by fossil-free energy and the aim is to supply batteries for approximately half a million electric cars per year. Nearby at Lindholmen, Battery Centre Gothenburg will open on 24 January. There, both industrial personnel and students will be trained and educated in battery technology and production.
Volvo Cars and Vargas portfolio company Northvolt have selected Gothenburg, Sweden, to establish a new battery manufacturing plant. The plant will commence operations in 2025, create up to 3,000 jobs and complement the planned R&D centre that both companies announced in December as part of an investment of approximately SEK 30 billion.
