Italvolt signs AECOM for battery manufacturing
Italvolt has signed a partnership with AECOM for a range of professional services aimed at optimising operations across the project lifecycle for its battery gigafactory in Italy.
The Gigafactory will be one of Europe’s largest with a production capacity of 45 GWh and total investment of approximately €3.4 billion. AECOM will help optimise the production process within Italvolt’s Gigafactory, ensuring that production of lithium-ion cells on-site will be as lean and resilient as possible and minimising waste during production.
Italvolt is building the Gigafactory at the old Olivetti site along with a 20,000 m2 advanced R&D centre.
The agreement follows deals with ABB for electrification and automation, Equans for clean & dry rooms and process utilities, TÜV SÜD for control and certification of production processes and American Manganese for recycling of lithium ion batteries.
