According to a recent report, this ambitious plan could become part of also Samsung SDI . In fact, from Korea, there are some rumors that the Korean battery manufacturer would have been chosen by the German group to supply the new cells.

In any case, the report highlights that & egrave; very likely that Samsung SDI can go beyond the simple realization of the cells.
LONG-TERM COLLABORATION
In addition to the construction, Samsung SDI could also collaborate in the development work, starting from the specifications communicated by the German group. The choice to focus on the Korean battery manufacturer would not be strange: the collaboration between the two companies, in fact, has been going on for some time. Today, the Volkswagen Group & egrave; already the most & ugrave; major Samsung SDI customer.
At the moment, the report does not specify whether the cells Samsung SDI will produce; they will be used for the European market or for the American or Chinese one. The new agreement, if confirmed, will allow; to the Korean company to obtain a very important order for its future. It should be remembered that the battery manufacturer is also working with BMW on the construction of new generation cylindrical cells.
The Volkswagen Group's plan also includes the construction of 6 factories in Europe to be able to count on a capacity; production of 240 GWh per year by 2030. The first two plants will operate in the city & agrave; Swedish by Skellefte & aring; and in Salzgitter (Germany). A third site should be built in Spain.
