Milestone: on 22 Sept 2026 CATL began trial production on the first two lines of its new cell-manufacturing building in Debrecen, after receiving the occupancy permit in August 2026 and remedying deficiencies found by the authorities (including elevated nickel exposure among nine workers); series production will only follow after the ramp-in phase. Announced in 2022, the plant is to reach 100 GWh of annual capacity at full build-out, making it CATL's largest site outside China; module assembly has been running there since autumn 2024 (around 537,000 modules). The sources give neither the investment sum nor headcount (Portfolio.hu and Világgazdaság, 22 Sept 2026). Update (06.10.2026): State Secretary Zsolt Tárkányi of the transport and investment ministry published excerpts of the non-binding letter of intent signed with the previous government in 2022: it lists a planned investment value of €7.3bn and annual capacity of 100 GWh and holds out, among other things, an 80% corporate tax reduction for up to 13 years and possible cash grants (Portfolio.hu, 06.10.2026). — Sources: https://www.portfolio.hu/uzlet/20260922/merfoldkohoz-erkezett-a-catl-megkezdodik-a-tesztuzem-debrecenben-864380 · https://www.portfolio.hu/uzlet/20261006/komoly-kedvezmenyeket-igert-a-kormany-a-catl-debreceni-beruhazasahoz-867732

The plant near Szolnok reported insolvency on 5 August 2026 and production has stopped. VG.hu puts the number of affected employees at about 400, other reports at up to roughly 480; the cause is the situation of the Accell group. Accell was the largest local business-tax payer and the mayor asked local firms to hire laid-off workers (VG.hu, 6 Aug 2026). — Source: https://www.vg.hu/vilaggazdasag-magyar-gazdasag/2026/08/szolnok-csodbe-ment-egy-ujabb-magyarorszagi-oriasgya
