Warehouse opened for EV battery logistics
PSA BDP has opened an electric vehicle (EV) battery logistics warehouse in Dunkirk, France. At the newly built 22,000 sqm warehouse, PSA BDP will offer contract logistics services for the region’s rapidly growing auto EV cluster.
The facility is Breeam certified and meets the highest standards for sustainable EV battery handling, including in-rack sprinklers, temperature and humidity cameras, quarantine containers and water basins.
PSA BDP chose Northern France for its new warehouse, as this region is becoming a main location for the development of EV technology with no less than four EV battery gigafactories announced to date.
In April, for example, the company closed an agreement to handle the contract logistics and hinterland transportation for Automotive Cells Company (ACC) in Dunkirk. Together with Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz and Total Energies, ACC is establishing its first gigafactory in Billy-Berclau in Northern France. (ben)
