Samsung SDI, a prominent global lithium-ion battery manufacturer, aims to support the growing electric vehicle (EV) market through this collaboration.

The agreement targets finalising a strategic deal by July 10, 2024, to produce up to 10ktpa AAM from Vidalia, starting in 2026.

The partnership will employ a floating price mechanism as SYR expands Vidalia to a 45ktpa AAM production capacity.
