国轩高科20GWh电池项目动工！

Core Viewpoint - Gotion Power Morocco plans to start the construction of a super battery factory in Kenitra, Morocco, with an initial capacity of 20GWh, aiming to expand to 40GWh in the future, primarily targeting the European market, especially Germany and France, which plan to ban fuel vehicles by 2035 [1][4]. Group 1: Project Details - The project will cover approximately 100 hectares and is expected to commence production in Q3 2026, creating 2,300 direct jobs and hundreds of indirect jobs in transportation, logistics, and supporting small businesses [1]. - The initial investment for the project is 12.8 billion dirhams (approximately 9.3 billion RMB), with plans to increase capacity to 100GWh and total investment reaching 65 billion dirhams (approximately 6.5 billion USD) [4]. Group 2: Strategic Partnerships - Gotion has received bulk orders from various European automakers, indicating strong market interest [2]. - A strategic investment agreement was signed between the Moroccan government and Gotion in June 2024, further solidifying the partnership [3]. - Gotion has also partnered with ACWA Power to develop a large wind power project in Morocco, which will provide stable and low-cost electricity to the battery factory [4]. Group 3: Supply Chain and Industry Collaboration - Morocco's rich phosphate resources, with proven reserves of 50 billion tons (73% of global reserves), will supply raw materials for lithium iron phosphate cathodes [4]. - Several Chinese battery material companies, including BTR, Zhongwei, and Tianci Materials, are also investing in Morocco, contributing to a complete supply chain from cathodes to anodes and electrolytes [5]. - The collaboration among domestic industry chain enterprises in Morocco accelerates supply chain construction, ensuring stable material supply for battery project implementation [6].
