Electric batteries: Chinese manufacturers accelerate vertical integration
In China, several car manufacturers are developing their own traction batteries, a strategy that is reshaping the balance of a sector dominated by CATL. This trend is accompanied by announcements on semi-solid and solid-state batteries, with trials or launches planned by Geely and GAC, as well as pilot production validations. It also illustrates risks, with one manufacturer encountering difficulties with its internally developed batteries, while others, such as IM Motors, are instead strengthening their supply partnerships. The provided sub-events mainly concern China; the file coverage extends to Italy and Brazil, without national detail available in the provided elements.
