en.Wedoany.com Reported - On August 18, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor and CATL officially signed a five-year strategic cooperation agreement in Ningde, marking a formal transition from a supply-demand relationship to a stage of ecosystem co-building with full industry chain collaboration. This will not only further enhance Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor's core competitiveness in the new energy commercial vehicle market, but also drive the unification of commercial vehicle battery standards and the transformation of business models, setting a benchmark for the high-quality and low-carbon development of the entire commercial vehicle industry.

Under this cooperation, the two parties will focus on the following two core dimensions:

Full-scenario technology development and standard customization: Covering all commercial vehicle scenarios including tractors, dump trucks, cargo trucks, special-purpose vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, accelerating the implementation of new materials, new systems, and cutting-edge technologies, and jointly formulating technical specifications for commercial vehicle batteries.

Business model innovation and ecosystem closed loop: Accelerating the rollout of innovative businesses such as the commercial vehicle "battery bank," and effectively reducing end users' initial purchase costs and full-lifecycle operational risks through vehicle-battery separation and asset operationalization.

Going forward, CATL will continue to leverage its leading product technologies, large-scale delivery capabilities, and full-lifecycle services to deepen all-round cooperation with Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, jointly promoting the high-quality and low-carbon development of the commercial vehicle industry.
