根据去年的消息，戴姆勒将会在这座工厂投资五亿欧元
戴姆勒找了一些大头们来参加开幕典礼，包括德国总理梅克尔
他们没有公布这座工厂的细节，但预计年产量应该会在GWh级别，会招募约1000名员工
除了这间工厂之外
戴姆勒也跟韩国电池制造商 SK Innovation 合作
该公司最近才宣布要将电池的年产量往上推升至4GWh
=================== 与Tesla Gigafactory 的比较 ======================
Tesla 的第一座 Gigafactory 投资金额大约是50亿美元
预计2018年可生产50GWh的电池组，整体完工后可年产150GWh的电池组

During the 2016 Shareholders Meeting today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced
that the company could triple the total planned battery output of the
Gigafactory to ~105 GWh of cells and ~150 GWh of battery packs )
而在纽约水牛城的 Gigafactory 2 (这是原先Solarcity的工厂，主要生产太阳能电池)
预计在2019年时年产量为1GW
今年底将会宣布 Gigafactory 3、4 ( or 5) 的地点
Gigafactory 3 应该就是在欧洲了

Daimler unveils its own new battery Gigafactory for electric vehicles
Daimler is among one of the few major automakers with aggressive
all-electric vehicle plans. The German automaker recently announced
acceleration of electric car plans by 3 years and that they will spend
$11 billion on 10 models by 2022.
They are backing this up with a new battery factory, which they
officially unveiled today.
The German automaker produces its own battery packs through its
ACCUmotive subsidiary and last year, they announced an important €500
million investment in a new battery factory in Kamenz, Germany.
The inauguration was a big deal today attended by Federal Chancellor Dr.
Angela Merkel and Stanislaw Tillich (Minister President of Saxony), who,
together with Dieter Zetsche (Chairman of the Board of Daimler AG and
Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars), Markus Schäfer (Member of the Divisional
Board of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Production and Supply Chain), Frank Deiss
(Head of Powertrain Production and Site Manager Mercedes-Benz Plant Untert
ürkheim) and Frank Blome (Managing Director Deutsche Accumotive GmbH &
Co. KG), laid the casing of a vehicle battery as the foundation stone.
They didn’t confirm the capacity of the plant, but it is expected to be
in the gigawatt-hour range and it will employ over 1,000 workers.
Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche said about the new factory:
“The automotive industry is facing a fundamental transformation and we
see ourselves as the driving force behind this change. The battery
factory in Kamenz is an important component in the implementation of our
electric offensive. By 2022, we will have more than ten purely electric
passenger cars in series. We also continue to drive forward the
hybridization of our fleet. Under the EQ brand, we are creating a
holistic ecosystem for e-mobility.”
It will officially go into operation in mid-2018 just in time for Mercedes
’ first all-electric vehicle built from the ground up, Mercedes’ new ‘
EQ’ SUV.
Daimler also has several other electric vehicle programs, like it’s
all-electric Urban eTruck and it is currently building 1,500 all-electric
Mercedes-Benz vans for Germany’s largest independent logistic firm.
The German automaker is not only counting on its own subsidiary for
battery supply. They also partnered with Korea-based battery manufacturer
SK Innovation, which recently announced a doubling of its battery
production for electric vehicles to 4GWh/year to support demand from
Mercedes and others.
