> 2024 financial targets
– Estimated sales of between €180 and €200 million

Christophe Gurtner, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Forsee Power states:
«Forsee Power has maintained a healthy growth trajectory, with sales up +7% in the first half of 2024, in a context where the electromobility market is experiencing a slowdown worldwide, but whose medium and long-term trend is confirmed. In addition, falling cell costs should boost the launch of major programs from 2025 onwards. At the same time, the first six months of the year were marked by continued business development, with the signing of new international references and the diversification of our customer portfolio in all our promising target markets, such as North America and rail.”
