Total SA (FP.FR) said Thursday that its battery-making subsidiary Saft will launch a joint venture with China's Tianneng Energy Technology to manufacture lithium-ion cells.

Saft will have a 40% stake in the venture, which is to be based in Changxing, while Tianneng will hold the remaining equity, Total said.

The joint venture will produce lithium-ion cells, modules and packs for electric vehicles and energy-storage units to be sold in China and global markets, Total said.

The partners also plan to expand Tianneng's Changxing facility to meet growing global demand for batteries.
