Opening of the
Battery Test Center

On 25 March, the Battery Test Center was opened. After the official part with a welcoming address by Dr. Bernd Althusmann (Lower Saxony’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Labour, Transport and Digitalisation), we would now like to offer all ISP employees and other interested parties the opportunity to get an impression of our new test centre.
Due to the current circumstances, this is only possible virtually. However, since the possibilities for this are just as state-of-the-art as the Battery Test Center itself, we can wish you with confidence: Enjoy your tour through the first construction phase.
