Targeted to<br \/>start production in 2027, the plant aims to have an initial annual production capacity of 34<br \/>gigawatt hours (GWh).<\/p>\n<p>In May 2022, Stellantis and Samsung SDI announced their commitment to build a first<br \/>battery manufacturing facility in Kokomo, Indiana, U.S. Targeted to launch in the first quarter<br \/>of 2025, the plant will have an annual production of 33 GWh, up from the initial target of 23<br \/>GWh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new facility will contribute to reaching our aggressive target to offer at least 25 new<br \/>battery electric vehicles for the North American market by the end of the decade,\u201d said<br \/>Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. \u201cWe are continuing to add more capacity in the United States<br \/>together with our great partner Samsung SDI and laying the next steps to reaching our<br \/>carbon neutrality commitment by 2038.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy establishing the joint venture with Stellantis last year, we laid a solid groundwork for<br \/>marking our presence in North America,\u201d remarked Samsung SDI President and CEO Yoon-<br \/>ho Choi. \u201cThe second plant will accelerate our market penetration into the U.S. and help<br \/>Stellantis push forward the U.S. transition to an era of electric vehicles by supplying the<br \/>products featuring the highest levels of safety and quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, Stellantis announced plans of reaching a<br \/>100% passenger car battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales mix in Europe and 50% passenger<br \/>car and light-duty truck BEV sales mix in the United States by 2030. To achieve these sales<br \/>targets, the Company is securing approximately 400 GWh of battery capacity. Stellantis is on<br \/>track to become a carbon net zero corporation by 2038, all scopes included, with single-digit<br \/>percentage compensation of remaining emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The location of the new facility is currently under review and further details will be shared at<br \/>a later date.<br \/>The transaction is subject to the execution of definitive documentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-6409f33-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-6409f33-font-size ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-6409f33-letter-spacing ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-6409f33-word-spacing );\">About Stellantis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stellantis N.V.
