SEOUL -- SK Innovation said on Monday that it remains committed to producing electric vehicle batteries in the U.S. despite being slapped with a 10-year import ban by the American trade commission last week.

"We will actively cope with the remaining litigations and all other processes to ensure we have no problems producing batteries in the U.S.," the South Korean company said in a regulatory filing.
