Stellantis, the third-largest automotive group by sales globally, on Wednesday announced a deal with Finland’s Terrafame, under which the latter will supply the car maker with nickel sulphate over a period of 5 years, starting from 2025.
“This agreement is part of the key raw material sourcing to fit with our electrified vehicle battery pack needs,” Stellantis’ Chief Executive Officer Carlos Tavares said in a statement, cited by Reuters.
The auto maker said the deal with Terrafame “will cover a significant portion of the needs for sustainable regionally sourced nickel.”
Earlier in January, Stellantis signed a binding agreement with Element 25 over the supply of battery grade, high purity manganese sulphate monohydrate.
