Seperti diketahui, melalui anak usaha rintisan VKTR, BNBR tengah berupaya membangun elektrifikasi transportasi yang terintegrasi, serta ekosistem baterai EV di Indonesia. Jaringan tersebut akan terdiri dari baterai untuk EV, EV-Bus, EV-Car, EV-Motorcycle, EV-Infrastructure, dan daur ulang baterai. BNBR juga berencana untuk membangun kapasitas rantai pasok baterai secara lengkap dari hulu hingga hilir, yang akan dijalankan dengan tetap menerapkan protokol ESG yang ketat.

“Bersama Envision dan mitra-mitra lain di masa datang, kami berharap dapat meningkatkan keamanan pasokan unit nikel dan bahan baku lainnya, terus memperluas kapasitas konversi nikel sulfat, memproduksi baterai secara mandiri, dan pada akhirnya dapat juga memproduksi pCAM dan CAM secara mandiri di Indonesia”, tambah Anindya.
