Hyundai Mobis says it will work with the Volkswagen Group to provide vital electric car parts, including batteries for its dedicated electric platform. The new venture will see Hyundai Mobis open an additional factory in Spain to supply the Volkswagen Group with an “extensive” number of Battery System Assemblies (BSA), which combine a battery pack and the battery management system (BMS). It’s not clear at this stage if Hyundai’s BSA will be spread across the Volkswagen Group portfolio, or if they’ll be exclusive to Volkswagen brand models. This isn’t the first time the Volkswagen Group has looked outside its own four walls for technology. In July 2023, Audi and SAIC Motor officially confirmed a partnership on future electric car projects.
