Pininfarina’s legacy extends for more than 90 years at the forefront of cutting-edge automotive design and, more recently, in the architectural box. After decades of collaboration with primary brands such as Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Peugeot, adding a renewal of the Eurostar fleet operating between London and Paris, Pininfarina has an unrivalled heritage in the automotive and shipping sectors. Its revolutionary and world-renowned designs will make Britishvolt’s gigantic plant compatible with the goal and a sublime representation of the long-term British automotive industry.
As an Italian studio working globally, the firm prides itself on always incorporating local culture and community needs within the creation of its spaces, to ensure the maximum positive impact on mental and physical well-being – with sustainability at the top of the agenda. Pininfarina has always been at the forefront of electric mobility, beginning in 1978 with the Ecos automotive prototype. While creating new paradigms of eco-sustainable, and zero emission mobility, the Turin-based design house is still fully committed to a significant number of electric propulsion solutions in various segments of the mobility ecosystem. The priority for Britishvolt was to partner with a company with expertise in this field, that could design a facility that is both sensitive to its surroundings, as well as open and welcoming to the local residents.
