The firm heading plans for a gamechanging North East electric vehicle battery plant is set to create a UK ‘battery corridor’ by building a £200m scale-up facility in the West Midlands.
Britishvolt is currently on site at the coalyards of the old Blyth Power Station in Northumberland, constructing the electric vehicles battery plant which will eventually lead to 3,000 jobs and thousands more through its supply chain.
Now, following a series of deals with motor manufacturers, key material suppliers and kit manufacturers, the firm has announced a multimillion investment into a 260,000 sq ft factory at Hams Hall park near Birmingham, creating and sustaining in excess of 150 skilled tech jobs.
