Samsung Invests In A New Venture In Europe
According to SDI employees, the supply of batteries for BMW’s electric cars, one of the leaders in the automotive sector in Europe, could become a reality for the company’s investment.
The continent is a major area of interest for the South Korean operations.

According to the SNE Research report, their market shares were 5.3% and 5.1%.
Automakers Can Benefit From Samsung’s Investment
If the partnership is finalized, Samsung’s investment could directly benefit automakers looking to reduce their dependence on producing their own batteries.
The partnership with SK Group would make it possible to analyze and evaluate the technologies of these equipment and gain greater control over production. In partnership with Hyundai, the smartphone company is already aiming at its growth in the Global Market Share of batteries for electric cars, which promise a range of 800 km on a single charge.
