USA – A groundbreaking ceremony was held recently at the site of a planned battery cell manufacturing facility in Mississippi which will be operated by Amplify Cell Technologies, a joint venture between Paccar, Daimler Truck North America, and Cummins.
Located in Byhalia, a town located in Marshall County (just on the Mississippi-Tennessee border near Memphis), the five-hundred-acre site will accommodate a two-million-square-foot plant by 2027. When it opens, the facility will produce up to 21 gigawatt hours of lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells for commercial vehicle batteries, based on a technology supplied by Chinese joint venture partner EVE Energy.
