欧洲电池独立化任重道远 ——浅议Northvolt公司破 产 当地时间3月12日，欧洲最大电池企业、瑞典动力电池公司Northvolt在官网宣布，因公司现金耗 尽，已在瑞典申请破产。在此之前，Northvolt在全欧洲与众多知名企业有业务合作，是欧洲具有标志性 的本土电池企业。因此有分析称，这一破产声明也意味着欧洲打造本土电池产业梦想的破灭。笔者并不 认同那么极端的说法，欧洲电池独立化仍然存在可能，但是任重道远。 在商业上，Northvolt显然是出现"步子太大"的问题，且只注意下游市场，不重视稳固上游。 Northvolt成立于2016年，其投资方包括贝莱德、高盛、大众汽车集团等知名机构和汽车制造商，累计获 得的融资金额超过百亿美元。借此，公司手握多家跨国汽车制造商的巨额订单，需要交付来自宝马、沃 尔沃、大众汽车集团等主要客户总计550亿美元的订单。但问题就出在这里，在欧洲电池相关矿产和化 工生产完全处于初创的时期，如果不依赖亚洲厂商，Northvolt如何满足客户庞大的产品需求呢？其结局 是注定的。由于产品无法按时交付，去年6月，宝马取消了与Northvolt价值20亿美元的电芯采购合同， 转而将该笔订单 ...
