- With its partner LG Energy Solution, Ampere launches Cell-to-Pack technology (CTP), a world premiere for pouch-type batteries.
- With a complete range of batteries for vehicles developed by Ampere, customers get the best autonomy at the best price, depending on their usage.
- With these technologies, Ampere will reduce by around 20% the cost of batteries in its vehicles from beginning of 2026.
- This plan is in line with Ampere roadmap to reduce costs and improve margins. It confirms its ability to lead major transformations in record time.
Boulogne-Billancourt,
This decision is an effective and cutting-edge response to market volatility and change in technologies.
Ampere works hand in hand with its suppliers LG Energy Solution and CATL to set up an integrated value chain on the European continent, to ensure the best competitiveness of LFP technology for its vehicles manufactured in
Ampere's teams also lead with LG Energy Solution the development of Cell-to-Pack technology. This cutting-edge innovation is a world’s first for pouch-type batteries. It improves the range of vehicles by integrating more cells, and therefore more on-board energy, in a given space. Cell-to-pack1 technology also helps reduce battery costs.
The integration of LFP and Cell-to-Pack technologies will enable Ampere to reduce by around 20% the cost of batteries in its vehicles from beginning of 2026.
With four leading battery partners, Ampere is accelerating in a fast-changing environment, and demonstrates the efficiency of its horizontal approach, teaming up with the best in their field:
- AESC Envision located within Ampere ElectriCity hub, in Douai (
France ), for NCM batteries. - CATL for LFP technology, from their plant in
Hungary - LGES for both NCM and LFP batteries, built in their plant in
Poland . - Verkor for NCM technology, from its gigafactory based in Dunkerque (
France )
Batteries are assembled at Ampere ElectriCity (
Thanks to progress made in LFP technology over the past few years and the development of the value chain in
This technology will be installed in vehicles in record time: first models will be equipped with LFP Technology from early 2026.
“In a fast-changing and competitive environment, our battery strategy is proof of the efficiency of Ampere’s open and horizontal approach with best-in-class partners, ensuring smart capital allocation, flexibility and rapid execution. This plan is in line with Ampere roadmap to reduce costs by 40% before the next generation of vehicles”, said
"The work we've done with LG Energy Solution has enabled us to localize the entire value chain around LFP technology in
