Altris AB

Ask that question about lithium and the answer is settled, and every buyer knows what it has cost in leverage and price exposure. Ask it about sodium and the answer is still being written. Cathode material is the layer where control gets decided. Altris produces Prussian White cathode material in Europe at industrial scale, from raw materials no single country can gate. The companies choosing suppliers now are also choosing who holds that answer in 2030.

Cold is where battery promises get tested. Chemistries that look strong on paper lose usable power as the temperature falls, and the driver finds out on the worst morning of the year. Prussian White sodium-ion keeps delivering through deep cold, which makes it a serious option wherever winter decides what a vehicle must survive. Altris develops and produces the cathode material behind that performance in Europe.

For a 12V engineer, mass has always been the price of dependable cranking power. Prussian White sodium-ion delivers that power from a cell light enough to change where the battery sits and what the platform around it can do. The kilograms handed back go to payload or packaging, and the chemistry brings a far longer service life with them. Altris supplies the cathode material behind it, produced at industrial scale in Europe.

Datasheets cover energy density and cycle life in detail, yet the question deciding battery programmes this year is where every input comes from. A cell can clear every performance threshold and still stall in a sourcing review. Altris produces Prussian White cathode material in Europe from raw materials that are abundant worldwide, giving buyers a resilience line that holds up under the same scrutiny as any other spec.

Several of the sodium chemistries reaching market today are built on precursor minerals refined inside the same value chain that dominates lithium. Change the cell and the dependency travels with it. Prussian White is the exception. Its raw materials are abundant and available in Europe, which makes it the sodium route where the chemistry decision and the sourcing decision finally point the same way. Altris produces it at industrial scale today.

The lithium supply chain consolidated around a single country while the rest of the world watched, and every battery buyer has lived with the price swings and single-source risk that followed. Sodium-ion is the second chance. The supply chain is forming right now, and where it anchors will shape battery sourcing for decades. Altris produces Prussian White cathode material in Europe, at industrial scale, from raw materials that are abundant worldwide. This time the race is still open.
