Siemens is providing Britishvolt also with design and simulation development tools that will help accelerate the time it takes for lithium-ion battery cells to go from laboratory to production at scale.

“Working with Siemens and utilising its global expertise in Digital Twin and simulation technologies will play a pivotal role in Britishvolt achieving its tight deadlines to begin producing world-class batteries, at scale, by the end of 2023,” said Britishvolt CEO, Orral Nadjari. “Being able to simulate production of lithium-ion batteries and cell development speeds up a complicated process and allows us to bring crucial batteries to market quicker. Working with...Siemens helps us stay firmly on course in our mission to build the UK’s first battery gigaplant.”
