Type: Supply Agreement · Technology: Mining · Country: United States · Announced: 2026-06-26

WEG signed a supply agreement to deliver approximately 600 low‑speed electric motors to the Thacker Pass lithium project in northern Nevada. The Thacker Pass project is operated by a joint venture composed of Lithium Americas (62 %) and General Motors Holdings (38 %). The motors will be used in the plant that will process lithium ore for battery‑grade material, supporting the U.S. domestic battery supply chain. The contract strengthens WEG’s presence in the North American mining equipment market and provides the lithium project with locally sourced electromechanical components. No financial terms were disclosed, and the delivery schedule aligns with the project’s construction timeline slated for completion in the mid‑2020s.
