 The multinational automotive manufacturer based in the Netherlands, Stellantis, and CATL, a Chinese battery manufacturer, have announced a joint venture. They will each hold a 50% stake in the venture, which will involve building a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery plant costing EUR 4.1 billion (~USD 4.3 billion) in Spain.
 Stellantis' Zaragoza site will become the location for this facility, which will potentially have a capacity of 50 GWh. The focus will be on producing LFP battery cells and modules for electric vehicles (EVs) within Europe. The goal of the plant, which is expected to commence operations by the end of 2026, is to facilitate the production of affordable EVs and SUVs for passenger use.
 This joint venture was made possible due to a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two companies in <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/24341"> November 2023 </a>. This agreement combined CATL's expertise in battery technology and Stellantis' experience doing business in Zaragoza.
