一 | DETROIT -- Jeep maker Stellantis says it will build a second electric vehicle battery factory in Kokomo, Indiana, that will create 1,400 new jobs.The $3.2 billion joint venture plant with South Korea's Samsung SDI is to start production early in 2027.Construction already is underway on the companies' first joint venture factory in Kokomo, which is scheduled to open early in 2025. That $3.1 billion plant announced in May of 2022 also is expected to create about 1,400 new jobs.The city of Kokomo, which is about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of Indianapolis, made a compelling case to locate the second factory there, Stellantis Chief Operating Officer for North America Mark Stewart said in a statement early Wednesday. Samsung SDI CEO Yoon-ho Choi said Kokomo will be the company's largest production base for electric vehicle batteries in North America. He says it will help Stellantis accelerate a transition to a new era of EVs.“Today’s commitment from Stellantis and Samsung SDI will double the capital investment, the new jobs created, and the impact this joint venture will have on Kokomo and the state of Indiana for decades to come," Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb said in a statement. Stellantis, the world’s fourth-largest automaker, has announced plans to sell 5 million electric vehicles by 2030, with 50% of its North American passenger car and light truck sales going fully electric by 2030. Stellantis also plans a joint-venture battery plant across the border in Windsor, Ontario. The company was formed in 2021 with the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France’s PSA Peugeot.Indiana offered an incentive package of up to about $186.5 million in conditional tax credits, training grants and investments for the first Kokomo battery factory. The money would offset the costs of the plant’s infrastructure, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation said.In 2021 the company announced plans to spend nearly $230 million to retool three Kokomo-area factories so they can produce transmission systems that work with both traditional gasoline-powered vehicles and gas-electric hybrid versions.Eleven U.S. EV battery plants proposed by Detroit automakers have become a central issue in contract talks with the United Auto Workers that have led to 3-week-old strikes against the companies.Union President Shawn Fain wants the 11 plants proposed by Stellantis, Ford and General Motors to be represented by the union and for workers there to make top assembly plant wages because they’re the future of the auto industry.Most of the plants are joint ventures with South Korean battery makers.Last week General Motors made a breakthrough concession by agreeing to pull its three joint venture plants into the union’s national contract with the automaker, essentially agreeing to unionize them.So far, neither Ford nor Stellantis has agreed to the change. The companies have said they don’t want to increase their battery costs to the point where their electric vehicles have to be priced higher than Tesla or foreign automakers with U.S. factories.。 记者日前从市投资集团获悉，今年2月，绥中县六股河口外海域KT1区块海砂项目正式迈入规模化开采阶段。该项目保有资源量3891.32万方，可采资源储量3783.88万方，可采出矿石量3405.49万方，生产规模1843.2万方/年。 该项目坐落于绥中县六股河口外海域，矿区面积2.946平方公里。矿区距海岸线仅6公里，与六股河生态保留区无重叠，毗邻绥中港（35公里），陆域交通网络发达，区位优势显著。矿区水深9.2米至24.4米，航道条件优越，为大型运砂船舶提供了高效便捷的运输保障。
二 | 作为渤海湾至福建沿海区域唯一的大型优质海砂矿区，其市场辐射范围覆盖环渤海经济圈、长三角、福建及粤东等核心经济区，对稳定区域砂石供应链、支撑国家重大基础设施建设具有战略意义。 据悉，2024年2月，辽宁蓝金矿产资源开发有限公司成功摘取了绥中县六股河口外海域KT1区块海砂采矿权和海域使用权；5月，办理完成项目“两权”证书，并与中交广州航道局有限公司签订了项目一体化经营承包合同，6月—7月开展项目试生产运营。 该项目采用全球领先的双洗射流船组技术，现已投入三组射流船组及一艘自吸自卸船，单日峰值开采量突破8万吨。未来将扩容至四组射流船组与八艘自吸自卸船，通过智能化调度与24小时连续作业，月均产能将跃升至300万吨，峰值可达600万吨，成为国家海砂战略储备的“核心支柱”。
