"We need giant factories to sustain the long-term growth of the UK car industry," said Mike Hawes, chief executive of the association of auto manufacturers and traders, an industry group < p > a spokesman for the UK Department of Commerce said the government was "committed to building super factories and will continue to work closely with investors and car manufacturers to advance plans for large-scale production of batteries in the UK". British research institutions such as battery innovation center and Faraday Research Institute are regarded as key levers to attract investment in battery manufacturing < p > however, the UK's efforts face competition from the European Union, which is preparing to launch large-scale incentives to attract battery manufacturers. The UK government plans to allocate 500 million pounds (US $700 million) to help finance battery factories, while the EU has raised 2.9 billion euros (US $3.5 billion), and countries such as France and Germany have provided additional funds to enhance their attractiveness < p > according to transport & amp; So far, there are 38 planned super factories in Europe, but only British Volt's projects in the UK have been publicly disclosed, according to environment.

Whoever wins the giant factory wins the auto industry." < p > in the early negotiations with the British government, Ford seemed to be more positive. The company said it was exploring the possibility of producing batteries in the UK and shipping them to Turkey for its planned electric version of transit trucks. At the same time, Ford may produce battery module parts in the UK and then ship them to Turkey for final processing and installation. Last month, Ford announced plans to set up a battery joint venture with South Korean manufacturer ski. Ford has not yet identified a location for producing batteries in the UK, but it is unlikely to do so at the company's existing UK plant It is reported that Nissan and the British government are negotiating to build a battery factory in the Sunderland manufacturing base, but the success of the negotiation depends on the energy cost. The company hopes to cut energy costs in order to improve the competitiveness of the region where the plant is located
