I am having a hard time understanding this translation.  Is it the new production plant or a Pilot Plant?

Voraussetzungen für eine Großserienfertigung von Lithium-Ionen Batteriezellen werden geschaffen: BMBF fördert Forschungsprojekt Fab4Lib
Frankfurt / Main , 14/12/2017 (PresseBox) - A consortium of 17 companies and research institutes will begin researching and developing processes for large-scale production of lithium-ion battery cells in January 2018. The project aims to explore innovative solutions along the value chain of lithium-ion technology and to validate them in demonstrators. The project is managed by the TerraE Holding GmbH, which also plans to implement the results obtained successively and promptly in a large-scale production in its own factories. The project with a volume of € 12.1 million is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with € 5.5 million and will run for 18 months. 

"The BMBF supports the development of a battery cell production in Germany with the project 'Fab4Lib'. The aim is to support German companies in the supply of battery cells. This is especially important for car manufacturers. The battery represents a large part of the added value of electric vehicles, "said the Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Thomas Rachel MdB. 

The pooling of expertise along the value chain from raw materials to recycling is the common understanding of the BMBF and the project partners. Partners of the consortium already supply technologies for mass production to international customers. With this joint approach of specialists in their respective fields, a competitive value-added chain in significant size for the short-term expected market requirements for lithium-ion battery cells is to be created in Germany. 

At the end of the project, a competitive production unit with a production capacity of 6 GWh pa will be developed. In the future, this unit can be modularly and multiply constructed where the required capacity is needed. 

Partner in the project Fab4Lib: 

TerraE Holding GmbH, StreetScooter GmbH, BMZ Batteries-Montage-Zentrum GmbH, SGL, CARBON GmbH, Umicore AG & Co. KG, Custom Cells Itzehoe GmbH, Litarion GmbH, M + W Group GmbH, Manz AG, Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, ThyssenKrupp System Engineering GmbH, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Chair of Production Engineering of EMobility Components (PEM) of Rheinisch-Westfälische, Aachen University of Technology (RWTH), Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), Öko-Institut, Institute for Applied Ecology eV and the associated partners Solvay Fluor GmbH and Leclanché GmbH
