The partnership would include supplying cells and entire battery systems as well as combining research and covers the full range of battery technologies, from cells across modules for cars to complete battery systems for vans.

According to Daimler, it intends to lead in battery technologies by combining its research and development expertise with those of its partners.
The German carmaker added that the partnership would shorten development cycles and significantly increase the ranges of future batteries through and reduce charging times.
