I-Contemporary Amperex Technology I-Thuringia GmbH (“CATT”), imboni yokuqala ye-CATL ngaphandle kwase-China, iqale ukukhiqizwa kwevolumu yamaseli ebhethri ye-lithium-ion ekuqaleni kwale nyanga njengoba bekuhleliwe, okumaka enye ingqopha-mlando ekuthuthukisweni kwebhizinisi lomhlaba wonke le-CATL.

Iqoqo lokuqala lamaseli ebhethri e-lithium-ion akhiqizwa ngobuningi aphuma emugqeni wokukhiqiza esakhiweni se-CATT se-G2. Ukufakwa kanye nokusetshenziswa kwemigqa esele kusaqhubeka ukuze kukhuphuke ukukhiqizwa.

 

Amaseli asanda kukhiqizwa aphumelele zonke izivivinyo ezidingwa i-CATL phezu kwemikhiqizo yayo yomhlaba wonke, okusho ukuthi i-CATL iyakwazi ukukhiqiza nokuhlinzeka ngamaseli kumakhasimende ayo ase-Europe avela embonini ezinze eJalimane.

"Ukuqala kokukhiqiza kufakazela ukuthi sigcinile isithembiso sethu kumakhasimende ethu njengozakwethu onokwethenjelwa embonini futhi sihlala sizibophezele ekuguqukeni kwe-e-mobility yase-Europe ngisho nangaphansi kwezimo eziyinselelo ezifana nalolu bhubhane," kusho uMatthias Zentgraf, umongameli we-CATL eYurophu.

“Sisebenza kanzima ukukhuphula umkhiqizo ugcwale ngokugcwele, nokuyinto esiyibeke eqhulwini onyakeni ozayo,” engeza.

Ngo-Ephreli kulo nyaka, i-CATT yanikezwa imvume yokukhiqizwa kwamaseli ebhethri yisifunda saseThuringia, okuvumela amandla okuqala angu-8 GWh ngonyaka.

Ngekota yesithathu ka-2021, i-CATT iqale ukukhiqizwa kwamamojula esakhiweni sayo se-G1.

Ngokutshalwa kwezimali okuphelele okungafika ku-€ 1.8 billion, i-CATT ihlanganisa amandla okukhiqiza ahleliwe angu-14GWh futhi ihlela ukunikeza izakhamuzi zendawo imisebenzi engu-2,000.

Izoba nezinsiza ezimbili eziyinhloko: i-G1, isitshalo esithengwe kwenye inkampani ukuze sihlanganise amaseli abe amamojula, kanye ne-G2, isitshalo esisha sokukhiqiza amaseli.

Ukwakhiwa kwalesi sikhungo kwaqala ngo-2019, futhi ukukhiqizwa kwamamojula amaseli kwaqala embonini ye-G1 engxenyeni yesithathu ka-2021.

Ngo-April kulo nyaka, imboni wathola ilayisensiI-8 GWh yomthamo weseliendaweni ye-G2.

Ngaphandle kwemboni yaseJalimane, i-CATL yamemezela ngo-Agasti 12 ukuthi izokwakha indawo entsha yokukhiqiza ibhethri eHungary, okuzoba isitshalo sayo sesibili eYurophu futhi izokhiqiza amaseli namamojula abakhiqizi bezimoto baseYurophu.
