SEOUL, October 15, 2024 – LG Energy Solution (KRX: 373220) today announced it signed supply agreements with Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) to power the electrified models of Ford commercial vans in Europe.

Under the contracts, LG Energy Solution is forecasted to supply a total of 109 GWh of batteries to Ford for its electric commercial vans, starting in 2026 with contract duration ranging from four to six years.
