en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 22, CATL and Octopus Energy, the largest energy company in the UK, announced the establishment of a joint venture to jointly build a heavy-duty truck battery swapping network in Europe. CATL will introduce its Qiji battery swapping technology to Europe, promoting the electrification transformation of road freight by improving the charging efficiency of heavy-duty trucks.

According to the plan, the two parties will build the first batch of demonstration battery swapping stations in the UK by 2027, prioritizing coverage of major highway trunk lines and core logistics ports. It is expected that by 2035, the battery swapping station network will expand to over 30 stations, with operations extending to Scotland and Wales, forming a battery swapping network covering the UK's core trunk routes.

Once completed, the battery swapping network will provide efficient charging services for major logistics companies, port groups, retail enterprises, and private fleets in the UK. At the same time, the two parties plan to integrate battery swapping stations into various large distribution centers to expand urban delivery scenarios.

As a key infrastructure for road freight, this battery swapping network will enhance the UK's capacity to absorb local clean electricity and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. In the future, CATL will collaborate with top global partners to provide leading new energy application solutions and services, supporting the low-carbon transformation of global transportation and energy structures.
