Britishvolt Teams Up With Prologis
Britishvolt has teamed up with logistics real estate operator Prologis to build its UK battery cell scale-up facilities in the West Midlands.
With a budget exceeding £200 million, the plan looks to create upwards of 150 highly skilled jobs.
The 'Battery Corridor' concept enhances the UK's existing battery ecosystem and powers the country ahead in the next industrial revolution.
The Hams Hall site will spearhead new cell formats and electro chemistries to create higher performance, production ready, batteries of the future whilst helping lower cell costs for more affordable EVs, aiding mass adoption.
New facilities, based at Prologis Park Hams Hall, are net zero carbon in construction and will achieve an EPC A Rating in operation
Northumberland.
Paul Franlin, Property Director at Britishvolt said: "This is another important milestone for Britishvolt, UK plc and its world class automotive industry. The UK’s battery ecosystem is a global leader in integrated technology development and industrialisation with the Warwick Manufacturing Group, Faraday Institution, UK Battery Industrialisation Centre and the Advanced Propulsion Centre.
"I am delighted to see Britishvolt lead the UK's journey into re-industrialisation with the first full-scale battery Gigaplant. The new R&D and scale-up facilities announced today will help the UK build on its home-grown battery intellectual property and level up the country ready for the energy transition."
