"ACC's management confirmed to us this morning what we have long feared: ACC's plans to build a gigafactory in Termoli have definitely been scrapped, and the same is true in Germany," the union said in a statement.
ACC, which is backed by Stellantis, the French energy giant TotalEnergies, and Mercedes-Benz, was a competitor to Northvolt and has been identified by the EU as important for reducing dependence on China.
The factories would have been located in Kaiserslautern and Termoli, respectively.
