Umicore said that its electric-vehicle battery materials joint
venture with Volkswagen's PowerCo will be called Ionway.
The Brussels-headquartered company will supply the factories of
PowerCo, Volkswagen's battery maker, with key materials and will
cover a large part of PowerCo's demand in the European Union,
Umicore said.
Ionway will also provide Umicore with access to a so-called
"important part" of the European demand for electric vehicle
cathode materials, the company added.
Ionway's annual production capacity is expected to reach 160
gigawatt-hours by the end of the decade, the equivalent to 2.2
million battery-electric vehicles, Umicore said.
