Ilika plc (LON:IKA), a pioneer in solid-state battery technology, has announced Agratas has joined the 17-month £2.7 million grant-supported SiSTEM project, which Ilika announced on 9 October 2023. The project is supported by the Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF). The SiSTEM project objectives are to build a 1.5MWh solid-state battery (SSB) assembly line in collaboration with Mpac capable of delivering Ilika’s Goliath SSB prototype large-format pouch cells and to undertake scale up trials at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC).
Agratas has joined the SiSTEM project to undertake an evaluation of the scale up requirements for Ilika’s SSB technology including a concept facility design for the implementation of SSB manufacturing equipment at Gigafactory scale.
