who we are

our mission & strategY

ULC's mission is to meet the demand for battery cells for various EV and heavy-duty applications. Providing effective high-tech solutions to address and meet the needs of the rapidly developing automotive industry.
Our strategy is based on the idea of mutually beneficial cooperation with a global network of leading partners to achieve our ambition as a supplier of efficient and clean battery cells and batteries themselves. 
Creating a full supply chain is an important component of global manufacturing and prosperity, and together with the combination of technologies and low-carbon raw materials, it will make our batteries a clean-cycle solution for an environmentally clean world.
Zero Carbon Future
In a modern world, the race to zero is imperative for society, and batteries are core to a successful energy transition. ULC’s ambition is to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon future in Ukraine.
We are fully committed to helping Ukraine reach a net-zero future, upskilling along the way. Furthermore, we aim to be as low-carbon as possible, reimagining supply chains as we progress.
The first 50 GWh Gigafactory in Ukraine
We are planning to build the first 50 GWh Gigafactory in Ukraine. Thus, moving to a low-carbon future will bring with it huge opportunities.
ULC intends to empower everyone that it interacts with, directly or via the associated supply chain. Value added, carbon reduced, and free-emission transport.
Ukraine mineral reserves opportunities
Unleashing the Ukrainian supply chain based on green energy, emission-free transport, and logistics solutions with leading principles of circular economy in production, will lead to large-scale green energy solutions application.
The raw materials base of Ukraine can meet the needs of the national industry as well as to facilitate its export potential, and the development of resilient value chains for critical minerals.
Creating a comprehensive circle of production chain partners
Through our mutually beneficial relationship with partners, we are creating as many players as possible that will work with us in the production chain, from ore mining, ore processing, obtaining carbonates, hydroxide, or chloride lithium at hydrometallurgical enterprises to electrochemical production, anodes and cathodes are producing, and the production of lithium-ion accumulators.

why we are

our benefits

Starting in 2021, tax and customs incentives are available for the producers of eco-transport and its components in Ukraine.
Available resources and prospects to produce critical raw materials in Ukraine, as well as their integration into global value chains, support the development of an open strategic relationship, which therefore helps to develop the minerals supply chain.
CIT exemption
Temporary CIT exemption* (till 2036) for legal entities that conduct solely business activity in the production and sale of electric motors, lithium-ion (lithium-polymeric) batteries, their charging devices, and electric transport
Customs Duty Exemption
Temporary VAT exemption (till 2026) for import and sale on the territory of Ukraine of electric and transport that uses gas or biogas
Investment projects with significant investments
The Law of Ukraine “On State Support for Investment Projects with Significant Investments in Ukraine” and accompanying legislation provides investment projects that meet the criteria established by the Law, state guarantees on stable legislation for 15 years, on compensation for losses caused by state bodies, as well as provides such investment projects with state support of up to 30% of amount of significant investments
Mineral resources' abundance
Mineral resources' abundance. Ukraine has deposits of 22 out of 34 minerals that are on the EU's list of critical minerals. Ukraine has traditionally been one of the top 10 countries in the production of titanium, manganese, zirconium, and graphite and has proven reserves of lithium, beryllium, rare earth elements, and nickel.
ESG standards compliance
ULC is recognizing ESG standards and following all required standards regarding a company's commitment to environmental, social, and governance standards and best practices.
