Swedish authorities are expected to notify Northvolt that they want to question a company representative over an explosion at its factory that injured a 25-year-old man, who died after several weeks in the hospital, reported Norran, a news outlet in Skellefteå, home of Northvolt’s flagship factory. The notice of suspicion is a step before any charges are brought, environmental prosecutor Christer B Jarlås told the Financial Times. (Norran, Financial Times, Le Journal de Montréal)

Talking point: The investigation is still ongoing. Northvolt told Le Journal de Montréal it is working with authorities. Meanwhile, the company is in dire financial straits and has laid off about 1,600 workers with more cuts expected to come. Northvolt implemented a full production stop following the worker’s death in December 2023, putting it further behind orders for customers like truckmaker Scania, the FT reported.
