en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bosch and Mitsubishi Corporation's joint venture battery service company has welcomed its first customer, with an electric heavy-duty truck energy service center officially commencing operations in Chizhou, China. Operated by Shanghai Lingzhou Technology, this facility marks the first practical deployment of the "Battery as a Service" (BaaS) product from the two companies, aimed at simplifying fleet electrification processes and improving operational efficiency.
Located in Anhui Province, the site integrates battery inspection technology and an AI-driven charging system, enabling electric trucks to complete battery swaps or charging within minutes. Currently, the center serves over 100 trucks daily. The project was jointly developed by Bosch and Mitsubishi Corporation through their joint venture, Bosch MC Battery Service Innovations GmbH.
Bosch stated that the platform aims to address one of the core challenges faced by electric truck operators: understanding how battery degradation affects vehicle performance, residual value, and total cost of ownership over time. The system's technological foundation is Bosch's "Battery in the Cloud" software, which monitors battery status, predicts future degradation trends, and helps optimize charging strategies.
Thomas Pauer, President of Bosch Powertrain Solutions, noted that the technology allows operators to gain clearer insights into the condition of their fleet batteries. He stated that while state of health declines due to aging and multiple charge cycles, the solution enables fleet operators to closely monitor vehicle battery conditions, a key metric for assessing daily fleet suitability and total cost of ownership.
According to Bosch, China's electric truck market is expanding rapidly, with nearly 30% of heavy-duty trucks sold in 2025 classified as new energy vehicles. The company expects that by 2030, over half of new truck sales in China will be pure electric models. Bosch and Mitsubishi Corporation stated that the system can also support broader after-sales services such as connected insurance, predictive maintenance, and battery lifecycle management.
