Rimac Technology and EVE Energy Announce Partnership on Battery Cell Production in Europe – Rimac Newsroom

Rimac Technologya leading provider of high performance automotive technology solutions to global OEMs, has partnered with THESE Energy, a leading manufacturer of lithium batteries and pioneer of the 46xx cylindrical cell format. This partnership was officially launched during the IAA Mobility event in Munich.

The partnership will see the two companies join forces to manufacture battery cells in Europe from 2027 in an agreement that will address the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions and strengthen Europe’s domestic supply chain. EVE will focus on cell manufacturing while Rimac Technology will focus on the development and advanced manufacturing of the battery module and pack platform using cells.

The core of the alliance is the production of battery cells used for the Rimac 46xx Technology platform. Rimac Technology already has a series of large project selections with major European OEMs that will use this platform, which creates high-performance battery systems at a competitive cost with fully customizable configurations.

The solution meets the industry’s demanding requirements offering class-leading power density, customizable cell-to-pack solutions, and an advanced battery management system.

One of the main advantages of the 46xx cylinder cells lies in their compatibility with the changing regulations regarding fuel diffusion because the cylinder format lends itself to the efficient fuel management that is essential for the safety and reliability of electric vehicles.

By establishing a local, European supply chain for advanced battery solutions, Rimac Technology and EVE are raising the bar for sustainability and efficiency in the industry and across the continent.
