LG Chem to Supply Batteries For Audi Plug-In Hybrids
SEOUL—South Korean battery maker LG Chem Ltd. has reached a deal to supply hundreds of millions of dollars of batteries for plug-in hybrid vehicles to Audi AG, a unit of German auto maker Volkswagen AG.
"The batteries will be used in Audi's next-generation plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Given that Audi shares many auto platforms with parent Volkswagen, we expect more such deals from the German auto group," LG said in a statement Wednesday.
LG Chem announced last week that it is jointly developing, with several global auto makers, a battery pack that will enable cars to drive 200 miles on a single charge—more than double that of most batteries in electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles on the road today.
