The shares of the Darmstadt-based battery manufacturer started trading at €48.80 after an issue price of €48.50 Euro.

According to its own information, the company can currently produce battery systems for up to 1,500 fully electronic buses or up to 6,000 commercial vehicles annually. Due to the trend to focus more on electromobility in public transport, AKSASOL has an order backlog of €1.45 billion until 2024.
