On October 29, Dongfeng Motor and CATL signed a group-level strategic cooperation agreement, marking the third time the two parties have reached such a partnership. From jointly building the battery supply chain during the 13th Five-Year Plan, to tackling high-end products and battery recycling during the 14th Five-Year Plan, and now to laying out an integrated ultra-fast charging and battery swapping ecosystem and a global ecosystem during the 15th Five-Year Plan, their cooperation has spanned three five-year plans.

This signing focuses on two key areas:

01

Laying Out an Integrated Ultra-Fast Charging and Battery Swapping Energy Replenishment Ecosystem

The two parties will jointly develop next-generation ultra-fast charging technology, with 10C and above ultra-fast charging products debuting on brands such as Voyah, M-Hero, and Yijing, significantly shortening energy replenishment time. At the same time, they will jointly develop a battery swapping architecture for the full range of passenger and commercial vehicles, promoting the introduction of the battery swapping system into mid-to-high-end brands such as Aeolus, Yijing, and M-Hero, and supporting brands such as Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle and Chenglong to launch battery swapping models, achieving full-scenario coverage of passenger and commercial vehicles.

02

Overseas Collaboration and Joint Building of After-Sales Network

Relying on the overseas resources of both parties, they will jointly build an after-sales network, promote nearby supply from production bases, and improve supply efficiency in overseas markets.

Yang Qing, Chairman and Party Secretary of Dongfeng Motor, Feng Changjun, General Manager and Deputy Party Secretary, and Zeng Yuqun, Chairman and CEO of CATL, and Yang Jun, Co-President of the Market System, attended and witnessed the signing. Yang Yanding, General Manager of the Strategic Planning Department of Dongfeng Motor, and Luo Huiping, Vice President of the Domestic Passenger Vehicle Business Unit of CATL, signed on behalf of both parties.
