Unipart Logistics is a knowledgeable and agile supply-chain partner for the whole EV lifecycle.
As the world rushes to create more sustainable ways of living and working, demand for lithium batteries is rising. Over the next 10 years supply will need to surge 300% to meet demand, with analysts predicting more than 300 million electric cars will be on the road by 2050.
What was once a niche marketplace is now mainstream.
OEMs offering electric products must have a robust logistics strategy to be ready for this unprecedented growth. The complex and highly regulated nature of lithium-ion battery supply chains demand a unique level of insight and expertise.
