Britishvolt, Britain's foremost investor in battery technologies, today announces that it has entered into an exclusive technology collaboration understanding with Siemens.

The collaboration will run across Siemens provide Britishvolt with access to its automation, electrification solutions and Digital Twin manufacturing execution technology. This innovative system gives the opportunity to simulate gigaplant product processes and flows alee of construction completion, optimising design and efficiencies. Information technology as well promises to speed up delivery times, allowing Britishvolt to stay on runway to deliver the outset lithium-ion batteries at the end of 2023.

Additionally, Siemens is providing Britishvolt with its latest pattern and simulation development tools, accelerating the time information technology takes for state-of-the-fine art lithium-ion bombardment cells to become from laboratory to production at scale.

Britishvolt CEO, Orral Nadjari "We are delighted to enter into this engineering science collaboration. Working with Siemens and utilising its global expertise in Digital Twin and simulation technologies will play a pivotal part in Britishvolt achieving its tight deadlines to begin producing globe-class batteries, at scale, by the stop of 2023. Beingness able to simulate production of lithium-ion batteries and cell development speeds up a complicated procedure and allows us to bring crucial batteries to market quicker. Working with leading global partners such as Siemens helps u.s. stay firmly on course in our mission to build the Uk's showtime battery gigaplant."

Carl Ennis, CEO Siemens GB and Ireland "This is an heady and vital project to quickly ramp up availability at commercial scale of the batteries required by the electric vehicle market to help the Great britain reach its carbon net zero goals by 2050. In order to give manufacturers and terminate customers the confidence to switch to electrical vehicles, we need to take this crucial part of the supply chain here in the Uk.

Siemens has the manufacturing and energy infrastructure technology and services to assistance Britishvolt build the nigh efficient, sustainable gigaplant. We are keen to first working with Britishvolt to get the Blyth site operational by 2023, supplying batteries and delivering crucial investment in the North Eastward, helping to level up the UK economy.

Britishvolt's gigaplant is i the largest industrial investments ever undertaken in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and the largest in N-East England since the 1980s. With construction due to begin this summer, Britishvolt remains on track to begin product of world-leading lithium-ion batteries in 2023.
