Picture Alliance | Picture Alliance | Getty Images Battery maker Northvolt on Monday announced plans to cut a total of 1,600 jobs in Sweden as part of a major cost-cutting drive. In an update published via its website, Northvolt said that following initial steps taken as part of a strategic review, the company had revised its scope of operations in Sweden “to ensure that its resources are focused on accelerating production in large-scale cell manufacturing at Northvolt Ett.” It added that these measures were expected to result in the redundancy of roughly 1,600 employees, including 1,000 positions at its factory in Skellefteå in the north of the country.

It has partnerships with a number of major ********* automakers, including Volkswagen and Volvo. This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates. — CNBC’s Ryan Browne contributed to this report.
