After four years of research, innovation and development, the end of 2024 marks a turning point for ACC. The first batteries manufactured in France are about to hit the road! They now equip the PEUGEOT E-3088 and E-5008, as well as the Opel Grandland Electric, which are available to order now.

A “Made in France” cell and module were presented at the Paris Motor Show, then at the end of October at the Elysée Palace as part of the "Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France", which was sold out. They now travel to the Ministry of Economy and Finance, where they will be showcased as part of the “Bercy fait son industrie” exhibition on November 22.

To mark this decisive milestone in our four-year history, Yann Vincent, Chairman and CEO of ACC, has opened a few doors... He takes us to the heart of our Gigafactory in Billy-Berclau Douvrin, to discover this concentrate of technology that is our pride and joy.

To get into the dry room, our video crews didn't hesitate to don the necessary personal protective equipment... take a behind-the-scenes look at filming at the Gigafactory!
