Stellantis Enters into Battery Cooperation with CEA

The car manufacturer and the CEA research institute have announced a five-year collaboration. Together, they are researching the battery technology of the future.

The joint research program between Stellantis and the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission will include the development of battery cells with higher performance, longer life and a lower carbon footprint. The R&D program will focus on disruptive cell chemistries, life cycle assessment, and battery cell development and validation. The automotive group is convinced that the collaboration with the CEA will lead to a faster breakthrough in disruptive battery cell technologies.

Other topics of joint research include battery modeling, fuel cell development, life cycle analysis and connectivity. "CEA is proud to support Stellantis with an ambitious multi-year R&D program on battery cells, which takes place in the frame of CEA/Stellantis global partnership. This exciting project makes the best use of more than 25 years of expertise in the field of Li-ion batteries at CEA to the benefit of one of the major automotive actors in the competitive race for electrical mobility", says Philippe Stohr, Head of CEA's Energy Division.
