PARIS, June 4 (Reuters) - ACC, an electric vehicle battery joint venture between carmakers Stellantis and Mercedes and Saft, a subsidiary of France's TotalEnergies, has halted work on a factory in Germany, the company said on Tuesday.

The venture has also postponed plans for a gigafactory in Italy, it said, as it reviews its strategy to adapt to growing demand for lower-cost electric vehicles. (Reporting by Giulio Piovaccari, Miranda Murray and Benjamin Mallet; writing by Dominique Patton; editing by Jason Neely)
