Agratas, Tata Group’s global battery business, on Wednesday confirmed that it will build Britain’s biggest electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility in Somerset, south-west England.
The so-called gigafactory, announced last year, will be built on the Gravity Smart Campus near Bridgwater in Somerset with a community-first approach, involving locals to learn more about and be a part of the project.
The company said the 40 GWh factory is set to contribute almost half of the projected battery manufacturing capacity required for the UK automotive sector by the early 2030s.
