美国际贸委会批准福特与SK Innovation签电池协议 後者被指挪用同业技术
美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)批评福特汽车(F.US)在有证据显示南韩SK Innovation挪用南韩LG化学商业机密下,仍与SK Innovation订立电池合约。
ITC上月裁定LG化学胜诉,禁止SK Innovation锂电池出口到美国,为期十年,但准许SK Innovation向美国出口部件,以生产供福特F-150电动车及德国大众MEB电动车系列的电池,为期分别为四年及两年。
ITC在96页的意见书中批评,福特为何在SK Innovation不当行为调查曝光後,仍与对方合作。ITC表示,SK Innovation一名员工在2019年11月在被调查後遭解雇,但福特仍与SK Innovation寻求业务合作,福特没有解释为何忽视有关情况。委员会亦拒绝福特提出就其他车款使用SK Innovation电池的豁免。
SK Innovation早前警告,若美国总统拜登不推翻ITC的决定,将停止在乔治亚州的电池厂兴建,涉及投资26亿美元。
