據ETAuto9月8日新德里報道，能源巨頭道達爾已與PSA集團簽署了成立合資公司“汽車電池公司（ACC）”的協議，以在歐洲開發和生產電動汽車電池。

該項目于2020年1月首次宣布，旨在將ACC定位為向電動汽車制造商供貨的主要競爭者。該項目已獲得法國和德國政府當局13億歐元的財政支持，并將動員超過50億歐元的投資。

道達爾公司將通過其子公司SAFT為該項目提供產業化和研發專業技術，而PSA則將提供其汽車生產經驗。

該公司還補充說，為開發新的高性能鋰離子技術，位于波爾多的研發中心和位于法國Nersac的試驗基地已經開始啟動。在研發階段結束后，可在法國杜夫林(Douvrin)和德國凱澤斯勞滕(Kaiserslautern)的兩個超級工廠進行大規模生產。

雙方將致力于發展產能，到2030年預計達到400 GWh，即是目前市場的15倍，并確保歐洲在電池概念和制造方面的工業獨立性。

他們的目標是初始容量為8GWh，到2030年，兩個基地的累積容量將達到48GWh。這將意味著每年生產100萬輛電動汽車，即占歐洲市場的10%以上。

Energy giant Total, Groupe PSA set up joint venture for EV battery production

Energy major Total has signed an agreement for the creation of a joint-venture 'Automotive Cells Company (ACC)' with Groupe PSA for developing and manufacturing electric vehicle batteries in Europe.

The project first announced in January 2020 aims to position ACC as a major competitive player in supplying electric vehicle manufacturers. It has received financial support of French and German public authorities representing €1.3 billion and will mobilize an investment of more than €5 billion.

Total, via its subsidiary SAFT, will contribute to the project with industrialization and research and development (R&D) expertise, while PSA will contribute its automotive production experience.

It further added that the R&D centre in Bordeaux and the pilot site in Nersac (France) have already started in order to develop the new high-performance lithium-ion technologies. At the end of this R&D phase, mass production could be launched in two gigafactories, in Douvrin (France) and Kaiserslautern (Germany).

Both the parties will work towards developing production capacity estimated at 400 GWh by 2030, i.e. 15 times the current market and ensure industrial independence in Europe for the conception and manufacture of batteries.

They have targetted an initial capacity of 8 GWh, which will reach a cumulative capacity of 48 GWh on both sites by 2030. It will represent 1 million electric vehicles produced per year, i.e. more than 10 percent of the European market.
