The acquisition of the former Maserati plant

The industrial plan
At the Grugliasco site Yes-Eu plans to develop a battery supply chain, from battery packs to storage systems (BESS) to servicing and recycling, together with the production of electric buses and minibuses for the domestic and European markets.[1][2] After plant upgrades planned for 2027, the first production lines are due to start in 2028. At full capacity the plant could employ up to 150 people.[1][2]
Commenting on the deal, founder Benedikt Gudmundsson said: "Italy has the industrial know-how, the supply chain and the research to become a European hub for innovation in new energy."[1][2]
