🔋 Hydrovolt opens the world’s most #automated battery recycling line!♻️ Yesterday we celebrated a huge milestone when we opened our new production line at our facility for #discharging and #dismantling of #EV and industrial batteries. This new line is the first of its kind in the world for battery recycling on industrial scale. We were honored to host the Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre on this special occasion along with Jørn Eggum in Fellesforbundet and Christina Bu from Norsk elbilforening (Norwegian EV Association) taking the stage and sharing their reflections and insight to an industry of the future and a growing market for EV batteries. Thank you for your support. The new production line features various automatization principles and robotics, providing increased knowledge about the best way to #recycle large quantities of #industrial batteries. The #technology is now being commercially implemented on a large scale at the facility in Fredrikstad, with plans to use it at future facilities in Europe. Thank you to our speakers, key suppliers, shareholders, and guests for sharing this milestone with us. Let’s make sure no #battery is ever wasted!
