CATL Unveils "Kunshi" Chassis Commercial Vehicle Solution

Recently, Contemporary Synland Technology Co., Ltd. ("Synland"), a subsidiary of CATL, introduced the Kunshi Chassis Commercial Vehicle Ecosystem Solution designed for high-efficiency logistics applications. It is intended to provide the light-duty truck industry with electric chassis products featuring extended range, long warranty, fast charging, and strong overload capacity, fostering a new ecosystem of co-creation and shared success.

With the rapid surge in the electric light-duty truck market, several pain points have emerged for users, including high energy consumption at high speeds, short driving range, and the excessive weight of large-capacity batteries reducing cargo efficiency. Synland's Kunshi Chassis Solution incorporates an innovative "1+3+1" architecture, comprising the Qiankun Architecture, Tianqing Powertrain, and Multi-Source Heat Pump Intelligent Thermal Management Technology. This solution increases the range of light trucks equipped with the Kunshi chassis by 20%, with the Kunshi 140E battery version achieving a range comparable to industry-leading 168 kWh configurations. The Kunshi chassis ensures sustained operational efficiency by offering an extended warranty for the three core components of battery, motor, and electronic control system.

At the event, Synland forged strategic development partnerships with OEMs such as FAW Jiefang Qingdao Automobile Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Automobile Group Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., and Qingling Motors Co., Ltd.

Synland also signed strategic promotion orders for over 16,000 units with operator partners such as Dishangtie Car Rental (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., New Hope Liangti Power Technology Co., Ltd., and Oulu (Shenzhen) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.

This launch and series of partnerships mark an important milestone in CATL's  footprint within the electric commercial vehicle sector. Through an open collaboration model that integrates scenario-driven design, intelligent vehicle manufacturing, and kinetic energy architecture, CATL aims to co-develop the Kunshi ecosystem with partners. By empowering OEMs and end-users, CATL will help accelerate the electrification of commercial vehicles and improve operational efficiency for fleet operators. Looking ahead, CATL, together with its subsidiaries, remains committed to delivering high-value, innovative products to its industry partners and fostering a new commercial vehicle ecosystem of co-creation and shared success.
