Previously, Ekot has also reported, referring to sources, that vehicle manufacturer Scania plans to stop buying batteries from bankrupt Northvolt.
Production at Northvolt's facility in Skellefteå has continued after the bankruptcy on March 12 this year. This has been possible because Scania, as the sole customer, has continued to buy batteries and has also paid more for them than before the bankruptcy.
According to Ekot's information, Scania is now planning, for economic reasons, to stop buying batteries from Northvolt in the near future. If Scania's purchases cease, there will be no customer, which could mean that production comes to a halt.
SVT reports that Scania will instead buy batteries from the Chinese manufacturer CATL.
After an information meeting held with employees at the Skellefteå factory, Norran, referring to anonymous employees, reports that production will be scaled down at Northvolt.
TT has contacted Scania and Northvolt, which do not want to comment on the information at present.
Corrected: In an earlier version of the text, the wrong month was stated when production may stop.
