Germany and Poland will strengthen cooperation in electric vehicle 16340 battery research and development and establish a European 16340 battery Alliance

　　In order to achieve a higher level of cooperation, the German and Polish ministers decided to open this project to other EU member states to establish an EU-wide 16340 battery production project and attract relevant companies to participate by establishing a "European 16340 battery Alliance" platform. It is reported that Germany and Poland will take advantage of the German-Polish Economic Forum held early next year to continue in-depth discussions on the specific implementation of this idea.

　　Emilewicz said that the Polish and German ministers discussed the possibility of jointly carrying out 16340 battery technology cooperation between the two countries. She also said that this cooperation is not limited to cooperation between the two parties in the field of 16340 battery technology. Like the previous establishment of Airbus Group by European countries to promote the development of special manufacturing industries, EU member states will try to jointly promote industrial development.

　　This time Germany joins forces with Poland to jointly promote the development of Europe's own 16340 battery industry, which is to actively compete for dominance in 16340 battery research and development and production, and to maintain and expand Germany and even Europe's position in the supply chain and value chain of the electric vehicle industry.

　　Experts believe that it is an urgent need for the European electric vehicle industry for Germany and Poland to join forces in the 16340 battery field and try to establish a "European 16340 battery Alliance". As a traditional advantageous industry in Europe, the automobile industry is facing strong challenges from companies in the United States and East Asia. Currently, the German Ministry of Economic Affairs is facing greater pressure on the development of the electric vehicle industry, especially 16340 battery production. Recently, executives of German auto giants have spoken out, calling on Germany and Europe to get rid of their dependence on Asia in the 16340 battery field and establish Europe's own 16340 battery production capabilities.

　　In fact, the German government has long had the idea of establishing an electric vehicle 16340 battery production base in Germany, and the German automobile industry has also recognized that energy storage technology and batteries are an important part of the electric vehicle industry value chain. According to estimates, by 2025, the market share of the 16340 battery industry will reach 60 billion euros, accounting for 20% to 25% of the total value of passenger cars.

　　Therefore, Germany and Poland are vigorously promoting the establishment of a 16340 battery production alliance at the EU level, which is also an important step for Germany to use the EU platform to achieve its dominant position in the field of new energy vehicles. Promoting the 16340 battery industry within the EU framework will make it easier for member states to implement state subsidies for the industry and vigorously support the development of related enterprises.

　　Currently, a trend that worries Germany is that Asian 16340 battery manufacturers not only regard Europe as a market with great potential, but also regard Europe as a production base with huge investment potential, and Asian 16340 battery manufacturers have already settled in Europe.

　　Analysts pointed out that Germany's joint effort with Poland to promote Europe's own 16340 battery industry is to actively compete for dominance in 16340 battery research and development and production, and to maintain and expand Germany and even Europe's position in the supply chain and value chain of the electric vehicle industry.

　　Although the initiative to promote the development of the EU 16340 battery industry is of great significance, relevant German companies do not seem to be interested in it. Not long ago, the German Bosch Group clearly refused to build a 16340 battery factory in Germany, and other related companies are also hesitant to invest in this field. The main reason why companies are not interested is that on the one hand, the initial investment in 16340 battery production is large, and the short-term return rate is relatively low and unstable, which makes companies have many concerns when making business decisions; on the other hand, related Asian companies have a relatively early start in this area. Early on, it has already achieved considerable advantages in technology, products and prices. If European companies enter this field, they will be at a competitive disadvantage from the beginning.

　　Therefore, although the German and Polish governments have shown their willingness in this regard, relevant companies still hope to see firmer political will and more feasible policies from the government so that companies can have more stable profit expectations.
