Ferrari selects and awards outstanding suppliers among those who have collaborated on technology development, competitiveness enhancement, and innovation over the past year, including strategic partners. Being selected as an outstanding supplier at PODIO Ferrari signifies recognition of quality and expertise from a top-tier brand.

This year, awardees were selected across a total of eight categories, with SK On winning in the 'Fearless Organization' category. Ferrari praised SK On's capabilities in addressing the demanding technical requirements involved in developing battery cells used in sports cars. This award is expected to further strengthen the cooperation between the two companies.

Since 2019, SK On has been supplying batteries for Ferrari's first PHEV model, the 'SF90 Stradale,' and its convertible version, the 'SF90 Spider.' The limited-edition special series introduced by Ferrari last year, the 'SF90 XX Stradale' and 'SF90 XX Spider,' also feature SK On batteries.

Additionally, SK On supplies batteries for Ferrari's PHEV models '296 GTB' and '296 GTS,' launched in 2021 and 2022 respectively. The two companies also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in March to innovate battery cell technology.

Jung Gu-pil stated, "We have been recognized for our excellent technology by the world's top supercar brand. Based on our unique capabilities, we will continue to write a new history in supercar electrification."
