Once expanded, the combined battery production capacity of the two production lines will increase from 1.9GWh up to 3.9GWhs, which is big enough volume to supply about 140,000 electric vehicles annually.

What is most characteristic of the new production lines is that new smart factory technology will be used in the key processes of the battery production.

Based on big data which includes crucial know-how and management information, the entire production will be autonomously done.

As the new technology will maximize both the space usage and production efficiency, the company expects that the new production lines will have three times more production capacity than original production lines.
