For the further development or implementation of this new technology, Volvo already did an agreement with its two car’s battery suppliers named China-based CATL and South Korea-based LG Chem. As per the deal, These two battery suppliers will be responsible to fulfill the requirement of batteries in Volvo’s new model cars for the next decade as well as they have to use blockchain technology for

tracing required raw materials.

“Blockchain technology, which establishes a transparent and reliable shared data network, significantly boosts transparency of the raw material supply chain as the information about the material’s origin cannot be changed undetected.”

CATL’s supply chain.
