Ford (F) has unveiled its global battery center of excellence called Ford Ion Park, an initiative that builds on decades of battery expertise and will accelerate the research and development of battery cell technology.
Ford has set up a team of 150 experts tasked with accelerating battery technology development, research, and manufacturing. The team is also tasked with exploring better integration and innovation opportunities across various value chains.

The unveiling of the Ford Ion Park comes as Ford ramps up the production of Electric Vehicles. Investing in the R&D of battery technologies should allow the automaker to come up with low-cost electric vehicles.
"We are modernizing Ford’s battery development and manufacturing capabilities so we can better control costs and production variables in-house and scale production around the world with speed and quality", said Ford’s chief operations officer, Hau Thai-Tang.
Ford is also setting up a $185 million learning lab in Southeast Michigan to develop, test, and build vehicle battery cells. The learning lab will come with pilot-scale equipment that should allow the automaker to quickly scale breakthrough battery cell designs. (See Ford stock analysis on TipRanks).
