The two companies had signed a memorandum of understanding last year. The JV was to help recycle used electric vehicle batteries and scrap materials from Stellantis gigafactories in Europe and North America, with production set to start in the first part of 2026.
"Stellantis and Orano will not finalize the intended joint venture for recycling end-of-life electric vehicle batteries and scrap," the companies said, adding they are exploring other potential commercial relationships.
The deal would have given Stellantis, parent company of brands including Peugeot, Fiat and Jeep, additional access to the cobalt, nickel and lithium necessary for electrification and the energy transition.
