Renault has entered into a strategic partnership with Envision AESC as it sets up a gigafactory in Douai, to support manufacture of latest technology, low-carbon batteries, and signed a MU with the French start-up Verkor to co-develop and then manufacture high-performance batteries
Renault says the two new partnerships will compliment existing programmes, in particular the agreement with LG Chem, which currently supplies battery modules for OEM’s electric range and for the upcoming MéganE. It’s noted that research will also continue within the Alliance to deploy solid battery technology from 2030, with the ASSB project (All Solid-State Battery technology).
