Volkswagen has ordered battery system assemblies (BSAs) from Hyundai Mobis.

Mobis said the BSA “combines a battery pack with the battery management system (BMS) and other components” and would be used in a future EV platform.

The company planned to build a new factory next to a car assembly plant in Spain to supply the BSAs.

It has production lines in Korea and the Czech Republic and plans new plants in the US and Indonesia.

It was “expecting additional orders for electric vehicle components”.
