RIVIAN is considering additional investment in batteries. The reason Korean equipment makers won orders for RIVIAN’s major battery equipment is because they have secured a large number of equipment supplies in overseas markets already. The prismatic shape is advantageous to apply to a platform dedicated to electric vehicles in the form of a battery pack, therefore automakers are declaring plans to produce their own batteries. The prismatic battery is stored in a square-shaped can case and is characterized by excellent durability. The company plans to install prismatic batteries in their pure electric vehicles. RIVIAN aims to produce their own batteries from 2023. In addition to notching and stacking, post-assembly equipment is expected to be delivered to RIVIAN. SNF is also making assembly equipment that makes prismatic batteries. Notching equipment and stacking equipment serve to speed up battery manufacturing and increase energy capacity. DA Technology signed a contract with RIVIAN to supply notching and stack equipment, which are key equipment for the assembly process. The equipment is known as the prismatic type. The battery type is usually determined from the assembly equipment. RIVIAN is also known to have ordered equipment for the battery assembly process. PNT is Korea's leading equipment maker, making roll-to-roll-based high-speed equipment and supplying them to major battery makers. PNT is expected to supply coater and press equipment among electrode manufacturing equipment. PNT(People & Technology) is also known to supply electrode processing equipment to RIVIAN. A CIS official said, "We cannot confirm the any details related to the customer." CIS is expected to supply some electrode equipment among coaters, slitters, and canliners. The electrode process corresponds to the previous process in the battery manufacturing process. As RIVIAN recently completed a bidding for equipment, major companies were selected as final suppliers.ĬIS signed a sales contract with RIVIAN for battery electrode process manufacturing equipment.
Īccording to the industry on the 27th, Korean battery equipment makers have won orders for battery equipment for the RIVIAN plant. Korean equipment makers are expected to expand their market positions as they are listed as RIVIAN suppliers. RIVIAN plans to start producing their own batteries from 2023. Korean battery equipment makers are drawing attention as they have won key equipment supply contracts with RIVIAN, an American electric vehicle maker.
