Northvolt AB has filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States, but said the move will not jeopardize the manufacturer’s planned electric vehicle battery plant in Quebec.

The Sweden-based parent company and several subsidiaries on Thursday filed for a court-supervised reorganization of its debt and assets under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code.
