沃里克区议会和考文垂市议会已经批准在英国西米德兰兹郡建立一个超级工厂的计划,该计划正在寻求吸引25亿英镑(合34亿美元)的投资。这家占地530,000平方米的工厂将为全球汽车与储能行业生产高科技锂离子电池。
项目倡议者称,该超级工厂将在近十年内达到60 GWh的电池产能。正如在去年首次披露的项目计划中所述,该厂将建在考文垂市当地的一个小型机场处,并从2025年开始投产。
西米德兰兹超级工厂由考文垂市议会和Coventry Airport Ltd公私合资合营,将直接创造多达6000个新的高技能工作岗位,并在考文垂市、沃里克郡及周边地区更广泛的供应链间接提供更多就业机会。
考文垂机场是该超级工厂地点的不二之选,因为这里靠近成熟的汽车供应链和技能生态系统。该地区是英国汽车制造业的中心,许多汽车制造商纷纷落户于此,包括印度塔塔集团旗下的捷豹路虎和阿斯顿·马丁Lagonda,以及中国吉利旗下的伦敦电动汽车公司(London EV Company)。
考文垂市议会的就业、再生和气候变化内阁成员Cllr. Jim O’Boyle说道:“我们的显要位置以及多年来在汽车和电池行业积累的人脉和供应链专业知识使得我们成为超级工厂地点的完美之选。下一步是吸引投资商,以确保考文垂市和西米德兰兹郡更广泛的汽车和电池生态系统继续为促进经济增长、创造就业机会和技能发展做贡献。”
该基地将完全由可再生能源供电。项目倡议者称,西米德兰兹郡超级工厂将配备英国最大的屋顶光伏阵列之一,并配合现场电池储能设施实现运作。但未透露有关这些系统的更多详情。
