00:00Hello, my name is Tony Mancine, and I'm the director of the Automotive Research Development Center, or the ARDC.
00:05The ARDC was established in 1996 as a partnership with the University of Windsor.
00:10Since then, we've grown to become a world-class engineering and development center for all simultaneous vehicles in North America.
00:18The Battery Technology Center is our next chapter.
00:21It represents the North America battery testing facility hub here for all electric vehicles.
00:27This state-of-the-art facility strengthens our ability to design, test, validate, and all advanced battery technologies for future
00:39electric vehicles.
00:40The ARDC has a hand in every single vehicle produced in North America on behalf of Stellantis through various engineering
00:47capabilities and expertise.
