The deal covers the supply of lithium ion battery cell modules, whose properties make them particularly suitable for use in commercial vehicles.
Cell modules supplied by LGES are integrated by Freudenberg e-Power Systems in their battery packs. The cell modules will be assembled at Freudenberg e-Power Systems’ XALT gigafactory in Midland, Michigan.
