HANOVER, Germany, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

CATL, a global leader of new energy innovative technologies, showcases its

cutting-edge technologies and product portfolio at IAA TRANSPORTATION 2022,

which takes place in Hanover, Germany from September 20 to 25.

CATL's commercial application products are equipped with LFP battery system,

which features long battery life and thermal stability and will offer

outstanding performance in temperature adaptability, and the latest CTP (cell

to pack) technology, which significantly increases the energy density of

batteries and consequently the payload of vehicles. Supported by its innovative

battery technologies, CATL's product portfolio highlighted at the show covers

full-scenario commercial applications such as buses, heavy trucks, logistics,

vessels, and construction machinery, addressing the typical challenges of high

energy consumption, long-time operation and harsh environments including

vibration, dust, mud water and sometimes extreme temperatures, among others,

thus facilitating the electrification of transportation.

Updated module and pack solutions

Product updates in the module and pack level are the focus of this year's trade

fair appearance of CATL. At the show, CATL will showcase its flagship product,

the High Energy Density Pack, which is powered by the 228Ah High Energy Density

Cell. Supported by CATL's CTP technology, the pack boasts an integration

efficiency of 91% and a system energy density of 160Wh/kg. The pack, which can

be applied to almost all scenarios, has been well received by customers of

commercial vehicles, and so far more than two million High Energy Density Packs

have been shipped to more than 55 countries and regions around the world.

CATL maintains its innovative momentum based on the High Energy Density Pack,

and has developed two next-generation products: Gen-4 Innovative Pack and

Module to Vehicle (MTV). Equipped with the latest LFP and CTP technologies,

the Gen-4 Innovative Pack boasts a 7% increase of weight energy density and a

22% volume energy density increase, capable of being applied to a wide range of

application scenarios. To meet the market demand for high energy density

batteries, for e-buses in particular, CATL has developed MTV, which directly

integrate the modules to the vehicles, achieving a system energy density of

175Wh/kg, and increases the vehicle utilization space by 40%. Further, the

high-end module offers maximum safety as it can be integrated into a vehicle's

roof, thereby protecting it from flood damage or thermal runaway caused by

collisions.

Long service life and the economic benefits brought by it is another important

factor that customers care about. CATL's newly introduced Long Service Life

Pack was specifically designed for applications with long-life requirements,

such as buses or heavy-duty trucks, and offers a warranty of ten years or 8,000

cycles. Its ultra-strength box structure design and LFP chemistry allow for the

use in even harsh working conditions, including mining areas. In addition, the

vertically arranged thermal management structure design leads to a threefold

increase of the heat exchange area, thereby greatly improving the heating and

insulation performance.

For low-voltage applications such as forklift trucks, golf carts and airport

equipment operating in closed environments, CATL rolled out the Low-Voltage

Platform Module, which is able to work in a wide range of temperatures (from

-35°C to 65°C).

In addition to these products, CATL continues its innovation with regard to the

material system, and have launched sodium ion batteries and two fast charging

products. The energy density of CATL's first-generation sodium-ion battery cell

can achieve up to 160Wh/kg, and the company has started cooperation in the

commercialization of sodium-ion batteries with carmakers and energy storage

providers so as to establish a preliminary industrial chain by the year 2023.

The 119 Ah cell, which can be used on both BEV and PHEV, guarantees an 80%

charge in 15 minutes at room temperature with the support of super electronic

network and fast ion ring technology, and empowered by isotropic graphite

technology, the 28 Ah cell enables 6C fast charging and 10C recharging.

Innovative business models

In January 2022, CATL rolled out its innovative modular battery swap solution

EVOGO. Based on the separation of vehicle and battery, CATL considers the

battery as a shared product, creating a whole new experience for the market.

Customers are free to choose one or more blocks for their vehicles to meet

different range requirements. Meanwhile, it is compatible with most passenger

cars and logistics vehicles developed on BEV platforms.

CATL has also launched battery swapping solutions for heavy-duty trucks, and

has developed standard battery swapping cabinets for heavy-duty trucks, which

allows customers to flexibly choose the power capacity according to different

requirements for driving range, and greatly improve the operation efficiency of

heavy-duty trucks.

"We're going to advance the transportation revolution once again with our

sustainable and powerful solution," said Li Xiaoning, Executive President of

Overseas Commercial Application, CATL. "With our latest all-round solutions for

commercial application powered by next-gen technologies, we believe we can

drive the industry to develop sustainably and safely with sufficient energy,

representing our commitment to electrification of transportation and energy

transition."

CATL is present at IAA Transportation from September 20 to 25 in Booth B02,

Hall 20, Deutsche Messe in Hannover.
