Electric vehicle battery maker SK On may call off its intended joint venture with Ford Motor Company F and Koc Holding AS in Turkey.
The parties signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the same in March 2022, Reuters reported.
SK plans to retract the JV to produce batteries because of a weak macroeconomic outlook.
The JV aimed to produce 30-45 gigawatt hours (GWh) starting in 2025.
The final decision whether or not to halt negotiations regarding the joint venture has not been made yet,” the company said in a statement.
SK On is the battery unit of SK Innovation Co, and its customer list includes Hyundai Motor Co HYMTF , Volkswagen AG VWAGY , and Ford.
