Now that Europe's automakers are ramping up plans for electrified vehicles, suppliers are investing in industrial scale battery cell production in the region.

Cells are exported to Europe for assembly into battery packs. This will change now that almost all major European brands are preparing to launch electrified vehicles over the next 18 months to meet tougher CO2 emission targets that start to take effect in 2020.
