Dundee's former Michelin tyre factory has been chosen as the preferred site for a new battery manufacturing plant that could create over 200 jobs.
AMTE Power says it wants Dundee to be the home of its first "Megafactory" that will produce battery cells to be used in homes, industry and electric cars. The new factory, if it goes ahead, will create 215 on-site jobs and 800 more across the wider supply chain.
The company already has a base in Thurso - but the Dundee facility would be much bigger, and producing far more batteries. It has begun discussions with Scottish Enterprise to turn the idea into a reality, with a target opening date of 2025.
