Northvolt Germany

Earlier this week, we applied for the permit to start piling of our first production block. Meanwhile, as you can see, leveling of the site is progressing, with up to 300 trucks using our newly-built temporary highway exit. Previously, we used the federal road which we can now leave to travelers enjoying their summer vacation on Schleswig-Holstein's North Sea coast. Safe travels and happy summer!

Together with Peter Tschentscher, First Mayor of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, we officially opened our office hub in Hamburg! In typical "Schietwetter" (rainy, grey sky, moderate temperatures), we welcomed guests from business, politics, and society and met new friends from Hamburg startups such as 1KOMMA5°. Hamburg is not just the gateway to the world, but it also serves as our gateway to our future factory in Dithmarschen and the broader German market.

What a view! Pilot Thomas Dreymann and his Cessna visited us from the air and sent us this picture from May. The shot captures the progress of our groundwork since we started in March. You can also see parts of our energy ecosystem with lots of windmills and the West Coast line from North Frisia. Thanks Thomas for sharing!

While the German team opens the European Football Championship today, we opened our temporary highway exit together with Claus Ruhe Madsen, Minister of Economic Affairs, Transport, Employment, Technology and Tourism of the State of Schleswig-Holstein, the District Administrator of Dithmarschen Thorben Schütt, the Mayor of Norderwöhrden Kay Uwe Evers and Die Autobahn GmbH des Bundes. For the premiere drive, the minister took a seat in a battery-electric truck from the Schröder Bauzentrum Gruppe. By providing direct access to the Northvolt construction site via the highway, we are able to reduce construction traffic on the federal road and increase traffic safety at the same time. Big thanks to all authorities involved.

Same day, same office, same Abdalrahim, Hauke and Rebecca, but different views. Amazing to see how quick Drei construction site is progressing.

Last weekend was all about #Heide #Stadtlauf. Svenja Krimm and Miki Lundh brought home a nice trophy to our Northvolt Drei construction site, winning the Lady's team run, while team Northvolt Germany finished 2nd place in this years 10km company run. Wanna help us to make it to the top next year? Then join Northvolt Germany and become part of our Athletics Department.

Safety first. Always. It's these words that welcome all employees and visitors on our Drei site. As work is progressing, we held a safety lunch event with all contractors and their management. Safety is a shared responsibility. Everyone on our construction site plays a critical role in keeping each other safe from the start. It is our top priority every day to ensure that everyone goes home to their loved ones safe and sound.

Scania's batteries are built for great energy storage capacity per weight unit, and the cells are developed in collaboration with Northvolt – resulting in the most sustainable heavy commercial vehicle batteries on the market, from both an environmental and social perspective. In this video you will learn more about how the batteries are produced, tested and installed. #electrification #emobility

From 100 meters to 4500 meters! The picture shows our current team lined up by date of hire. In a few years, the line will be much longer, stretching from the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall to the Elbstrand in Hamburg. As we will scale fast, it is more than important to strengthen our cultural foundation right from the start. Therefore, the entire Northvolt Drei team took time this week to dive deep into our core values: boldness, passion and excellence.
