JLR will conduct validation research on the pouch cells at its battery testing services.
Altilium COO Christian Marston stated, “By demonstrating that EV battery cells constituted of recovered supplies can meet the rigorous requirements of the automotive business, we’re not solely lowering the environmental impression of battery manufacturing but additionally supporting the UK’s efforts to construct a extra sustainable and resilient EV provide chain.”
