Recently, French battery companies Saft and PSA Group officially announced that they will establish lithium battery factories in France and Germany, with an estimated total investment of 5 billion euros (about 38.9 billion yuan). It is estimated that by 2030, the annual battery output of the two factories will reach 48GWh.
2065438+2009 European Union issued automobile pollutant emission regulations. This mandatory regulation has led many European car companies to pay attention to new energy vehicles. It is estimated that by 2030, the battery scale of electric vehicles in Europe will reach 400GWh, which is 15 times of the current level, which is equivalent to the number of electric vehicles in Europe will reach 7 million.
1.Saft and PSA will establish a joint venture company? * * * R&D and power production?
On October 30th, local time, 65438/kloc-0, French President Macron visited Saft's factory in Nelsac, France, and delivered a speech. Macron also broadcast the day's activities live on his social networking site. At this event, Saft and PSA group announced that the two companies will build a car? Cells? The company (ACC) is a joint venture company and has set up battery factories in France and Germany.

Saft and PSA plans are supported by the French and German governments. In addition, it is estimated that it will receive 654.38+03 billion euros (about 654.38+00 billion yuan) from the European Union.
After the ACC joint venture company is established, it will soon invest in the research and development of power battery technology. In the early trial production stage, Saft Company and PSA Group will hold 50% shares respectively. After the factory is officially put into production, the shares of Saft will be reduced to 33%, and the shares of PSA Group will be increased.
Total 20 16, an energy company, acquired Saft battery company, hoping to develop renewable energy. Patrick, Chairman and CEO of Total? Pouyanné said: "The rapid growth of electric vehicle sales has enabled Saft and Total to see opportunities for growth, and also enabled us to achieve the goal of reducing carbon emissions." At the same time, he hopes that the cooperation with PSA Group will produce more innovative and competitive power battery products.
Carlos, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PSA Group? Tavares said: "Our goal is to provide people with a clean, safe and economical way to travel. I believe that the cooperation with Total Saft will set a new benchmark for the development and manufacture of automotive batteries in Europe. "
Second, build factories by stages? The final annual output will reach 48GWh.
Saft said that after the establishment of the ACC joint venture company, it will take some time to put into production, which will be divided into two stages.
The first stage should focus on the development of battery technology. The company will invest 200 million euros (about 65.438+55 million yuan) to build a battery testing factory in Nelsac, France. The factory will devote itself to the research and development of battery technology and will push it to the market. It is expected to be completed in 20021year.

The second stage is to establish the first battery cell factory in Upper France in northern France, which is expected to be put into operation in 2023, with an initial annual output of 8GWh. Then a second factory with the same capacity was established in Germany. After commissioning, the two plants will continue to expand their production capacity. By 2030, the production capacity will reach 24GWh and the total output will reach 48GWh. The annual output of 48GWh is equivalent to 6.5438+0 million batteries, and its market share in Europe will reach 654.38+00% ~ 654.38+05%.
Conclusion: The development of clean energy will change the way people travel.
The cooperation between Saft and PSA Group is an important symbol for car companies and energy companies to turn to clean energy, and will also drive more car companies to gradually develop clean energy.
The introduction of strict carbon emission standards in Europe is also a means to force car companies to turn to clean energy. I believe that the major automobile companies in Europe will also develop cleaner and more economical modes of travel for people.
