Tesla's battery supplier Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. is planning an investment of 32.0 billion yuan (US$4.96 billion) to build a plant to recycle and produce battery chemicals and other components in central China.
特斯拉的電池供應商寧德時代科技公司計劃投資320億元人民幣（合49.6億美元），在中國中部建造一座回收和生產電池化學品和其他組件的工廠。
The new plant, to be located in Hubei province, will include facilities for recycling and producing a variety of battery materials, said CATL, the world's largest electric car battery maker.
全球最大的電動汽車電池製造商寧德時代表示，新工廠將位於湖北省，將包括回收和生產各種電池材料的設施。
CATL will jointly build a number of units to produce acidic raw materials as part of the larger production base with Hubei Yihua Chemical Industry Co., a manufacturer and distributer of chemical products, CATL said Tuesday.
寧德時代週二表示，寧德時代將與化工產品製造商和分銷商湖北宜化化工股份有限公司共同建造多個生產酸性原料的工廠，作爲更大的生產基地的一部分。
Global battery makers have been rushing to expand capacity and secure raw materials such as lithium and nickel in a bid to capture a larger share in the booming market for new-energy vehicles.
全球電池製造商一直在急於擴大產能並確保鋰和鎳等原材料的安全，以期在蓬勃發展的新能源汽車市場中佔據更大的份額。
Last month, CATL agreed to acquire Canada's Millennial Lithium Corp. for more than $300 million. That deal came after the firm's earlier moves to increase shareholding in Neo Lithium Corp., as well as to invest in North American Nickel Inc. and an Indonesian nickel project.
上個月，寧德時代同意以超過3億美元的價格收購加拿大千禧一代鋰業公司。該交易是在該公司早些時候採取行動增加Neo Lithium Corp. 的股份，以及投資北美鎳業公司和印度尼西亞鎳礦項目之後達成的。
