Increase in worldwide deliveries: 2,091 cars in the first six months of 2017 (+4%) Production site expansion: inauguration of the new office building with LEED Platinum certificationWorkforce doubled over the last ten yearsSustainable growth balanced with brand exclusivity Sant’Agata Bolognese, 18 July 2017 – In the first six months of 2017, Automobili Lamborghini recorded a further increase in worldwide deliveries. A total of 2,091 cars were delivered to customers: an increase of 4% over the same period of 2016.
Three years since the Huracán was introduced to the market, its commercial success is once again confirmed, with 1,400 units delivered in the first six months of 2017 (+2%). In June, the Huracán also reached the important milestone of 8,000 cars produced in just three years.
From January to June 2017, deliveries to customers of the Aventador model reached 691 units (+7%). Its success is highlighted by unit number 7,000 that will be produced in the next few weeks.
Expansion of the site in Sant’Agata Bolognese
Work is proceeding apace on expansion of the production site, from 80,000 m2 to 160,000 m2, in readiness for the Urus Super SUV’s arrival in 2018. Within the new area developed, a new office building has been inaugurated that received a record number of points in Italy (92 points) in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum certification: the highest standard in the world for energy and environmental certification in construction. This is the first office building within an Italian manufacturing site to receive this recognition, which is awarded to “green” buildings that combine innovation and sustainability.
The new structure excels in energy efficiency (class A+) and water efficiency, thanks to state-of-the-art technical solutions applied to the cladding and glazed surfaces, designed to guarantee natural light in 90% of the spaces and to limit thermal dispersion and overheating.
Recruiting for the Urus project
The production’s site’s commercial growth and expansion go hand in hand with an increased Lamborghini workforce. In June 2017 the company completed 400 permanent new hires for the Urus project. As of the end of June the company has a record 1,500 employees: a doubling of the workforce over the last ten years.
Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini, remarked: “The success of our products is closely linked to the investments we have been making for years in people and their professional development. Passion, talent, and skill are the particular ingredients in being able to build unique and extraordinary cars like ours.”
Lamborghini’s rapid and significant growth in both employment and industrial activity is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the company and trade unions, inspired by transparency and ongoing dialogue. The negotiations and agreements stipulated over recent years with the company RSU (in-company union representative body), and the unions FIOM-CGIL and FIM-CISL, are the result of a common objective: to increase Lamborghini’s competitiveness and enable continuous and sustained growth of employment; to safeguard the company know-how; to develop shared corporate welfare systems; and to continuously improve the economic and regulatory conditions for the workers.

Samsung SDI Completes EV Battery Plant Construction in Hungary  ◇ Starts production of high-power and high-efficiency batteries designed using state-of-art technology… Early completion from second half to second quarter of 2018◇ Innovative construction methods used to build cutting-edge line and meet European customer needs betterSEOUL, South Korea–Samsung SDI (President: Jun Young-hyun) hosted a completion ceremony for the state-of-art electric vehicle (EV) battery plant scheduled to open in second quarter of 2018 in Hungary.Samsung SDI celebrated the completion of construction of its EV battery plant in Goed, 30 kilometers north of Budapest, Hungary, on May 29 (Hungarian time). The ceremony was attended by about 150 officials, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Samsung SDI President Jun Young-hyun, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto and Korean Ambassador to Hungary Yim Geun-hyeong. Sitting on a 330,000 square-meter site in Goed, the plant is capable of producing batteries for 50,000 electric vehicles annually with operations expected to begin in the second quarter of next year. The company will be able to not only save logistics costs, but also improve customer service in Europe. Samsung SDI’s former plasma display panel (PDP) plant has been transformed into a plant equipped with state-of-art technology of Samsung SDI to produce high-power and high-efficiency EV batteries. Through construction of Hungary plant, Samsung SDI sets up a global electric vehicle batteries production tripod with plants in Ulsan, South Korea and Xian, China.Europe is leading the global EV market with its environment-friendly policy. The market for batteries, one of core parts of electric vehicles, is expanding fast alongside the EV market. “For the first time, state-of-the-art technology of Samsung SDI will be applied to batteries to be made in this plant in Hungary. Batteries are one of the most important parts supplied to global car makers. I expect the plant to contribute much to the growth of the European electric vehicle market,” Samsung SDI President Jun Young-hyun said.​​ ​   2017.05.30

Samsung SDI Introduces High-tech Innovations to Lead the Popularization of EVs at Frankfurt Motor Show – Samsung SDI to showcase its battery technology innovations and high-tech products with aims to make the popularization of electric vehicles – Exhibits multifunctional battery packs, low height cells, cylindrical batteries based on new technology standard ‘21700’ – Raises vehicle interior space utilization with better mileage, customized battery and cells of various sizes   SEOUL, South Korea– Samsung SDI (President: Jun Young-hyun) (KRX:006400) today announced that it has exhibited various products which could lead the popularization of electric vehicles at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA Cars 2017) which was opened on September 12.    The concept of the products Samsung SDI displayed at the show is “a battery company preparing for the popularization of EVs,” and high technologies were applied to them accordingly.  “Multifunctional battery pack” of Samsung SDI attracted the most attention. Its users can change the number of modules as they want as if they place books on a shelf. For example, if 20 modules are installed in a premium car, it can go 600 to 700 kilometers. If 10 to 12 modules are mounted on a regular sedan, it can run up to 300 kilometers. This pack is expected to catch the eyes of automakers, because they can design a car whose mileage may vary depending on how many modules of a single pack are installed.   Another groundbreaking product Samsung SDI exhibited is “Low Height Cell.” This is a cell whose height has been reduced by more than 20 percent than that of other existing cells. If this cell is applied, it can decrease the battery load height in an EV. If the height is reduced, interior space will be better utilized, enabling automakers to develop EVs of various designs. Samsung SDI also displayed cells and modules based on the new 21700 standard of cylindrical battery. A ‘21700’ battery is 21 millimeters in diameter and 70 millimeters in height. Its capacity is 50 percent bigger than the existing 18650 battery (18 millimeters in diameter and 65 millimeters in height). Its size is optimal for maximizing capacity, life and output simultaneously. The new battery beats batteries of any other size in light of cost competitiveness. A 21700 battery draws attention from major global manufacturers as the next-generation standard which can be applied to all sorts of products including electric vehicles, ESS and electric tools.  “Our products unveiled at the show are expected to advance the popularization of EVs because they use high technologies optimized to the needs of customers and the market,” Samsung SDI President Jun Young-hyun said. “We will keep leading the battery industry with our unrivaled technology.” Samsung SDI constructed an EV battery plant in Hungary in May, completing its worldwide production tripod with plants in Ulsan, South Korea and Xian, China. Samsung SDI is trying its best to meet the diverse needs of global automakers as a provider of total EV solutions including world-class cells, modules and packs all based on cutting-edge technology. ​  2017.09.12
