Automotive Cells Company (ACC) is a European battery manufacturer focused on the development and industrial production of lithium‑ion battery cells and modules for electric vehicles. Established as a joint venture by Stellantis and TotalEnergies (via Saft), ACC later welcomed Mercedes‑Benz as an equal partner.
Headquartered in France, ACC is building a network of European gigafactories to supply automotive OEMs, with sites under development in France (Billy‑Berclau/Douvrin), Germany (Kaiserslautern) and Italy (Termoli), complemented by R&D and pilot production capabilities in France.
ACC’s activities span the battery value chain from electrode slurry preparation and coating to cell assembly, formation, and module integration. The company emphasizes responsible sourcing of critical minerals (such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper), compliance with stringent European safety and environmental standards, and the development of recycling and circularity solutions. By localizing high‑volume cell manufacturing in Europe, ACC supports the regional battery supply chain for the transition to electric mobility.
