Chinese Firms Power France's "Battery Valley" EV Supply Chain

In the Hauts-de-France region of northern France, an area stretching from the port of Dunkirk to Douai is rapidly becoming a hub for battery materials and new energy vehicle (NEV) projects, dubbed the "Battery Valley" by local industry players. Chinese companies are actively participating in this development, helping to establish a comprehensive NEV-focused industrial chain in the region. This collaboration not only strengthens Sino-French cooperation in green energy and electric mobility but also underscores the growing prominence of Chinese enterprises in Europe's new energy landscape.
