DA Technology "Diversifying Secondary Battery Business Including e-Mobility and All-Solid-State Batteries"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] DA Technology, a company specializing in secondary battery equipment, announced on the 26th that its subsidiary NESP will collaborate with e-mobility specialist VM Korea to diversify its secondary battery business.

NESP and VM Korea plan to cooperate in the development and production of e-mobility complete vehicles and parts. They will also strive to implement technology development in the future mobility industry sector and promote industrial expansion. Through this, DA Technology has expanded its secondary battery business scope from electric vehicles to e-mobility.

VM Korea is a secondary battery and powertrain engineering platform company. Based on high-output and high-efficiency batteries, the company has supplied more batteries to domestic electric two-wheelers than its competitors. Recently, its subsidiary V Space has started the e-mobility demonstration project in Gumi City and is developing IoT-based electric two-wheelers and vehicle battery businesses.

DA Technology is also accelerating the development of solid-state battery equipment. In the future, equipment modified from DA Technology’s main products, such as notching and stacking equipment, is expected to be used in solid-state battery assembly line processes.

DA Technology signed an MOU three years ago with the Korea Basic Science Institute, a government research institute, for free-form secondary battery manufacturing technology based on solid-state batteries. Recently, it received inquiries from a U.S. electric vehicle battery company regarding the development of solid-state battery-related equipment and is currently conducting electrode testing. Solid-state batteries are called next-generation batteries because they have advantages such as lower fire risk and lighter weight compared to lithium-ion batteries.

A DA Technology official said, “We will continuously strengthen our business capabilities by discovering various secondary battery businesses such as e-mobility and solid-state batteries and will begin full-scale performance.”
