After the deaths: Toyota refuses to work at Northvolt in Skellefteå

Today’s work was the first to report the news.

Toyota usually carries out service work on trucks at Northvolt, but does not have its own employees permanently stationed at the facility in Skellefteå.

Employees died after working shifts at Northvolt in Skellefteå

– We have decided that the work will be carried out in our own premises during the ongoing investigation, says Annika Dörner to SVT.

It has not been determined that the deaths are work-related at Northvolt’s factory. Isn’t the measure a bit drastic?

– We do not think it is drastic. But we choose the safe over the uncertain. It is difficult to assess risk when we do not know the causes, she says.

SVT seeks Northvolt for a comment.
