據阿納多盧新聞8月3日消息稱，英國石油公司周一宣布，計劃在英國投資5000萬英鎊（6100萬美元）建立一個新的、最先進的電動汽車（EV）電池測試中心和分析實驗室。

新設施計劃于2024年底投入使用，將位于bp在伯克希爾現有的嘉實多業務全球總部。

嘉實多打算利用新設施繼續與汽車制造商和供應商合作，共同設計未來的電池技術和相關的熱處理液。

bp表示：“新設施將有助于推進混合動力和全電池電動汽車領先的流體技術和工程的發展，旨在使行業更接近實現主流電動汽車（EV）采用的關鍵臨界點。”

此前，bp宣布有意在2030年底前向英國能源系統投資180億英鎊。

bp to invest up to ￡50 million in new battery R&D center in UK

bp unveiled plans on Monday to invest up to ￡50 million ($61 million) in a new, state-of-the-art electric vehicle (EV) battery testing center and analytical laboratory in the UK.

The new facilities, planned to open by the end of 2024, will be located at bp's existing global headquarters for its Castrol business in Berkshire.

Castrol intends to use the new facilities to continue to work with car manufacturers and suppliers to co-engineer future battery technology and associated thermal management fluids.

'The new facilities will help advance the development of leading fluid technologies and engineering for hybrid and fully battery electric vehicles, aiming to bring the industry closer to achieving the key tipping points for mainstream electric vehicle (EV) adoption,' bp said.

The announcement comes after bp announced its intention to invest up to ￡18 billion in the UK's energy system by the end of 2030.
