CATL Signs a 10-Year Strategic Cooperation Agreement with GAC Group

Recently, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) and Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. (GAC Group) officially signed a 10-year comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement in Panyu, Guangdong. This partnership extends beyond supply chain collaboration to encompass co-creation across the entire process, from technological R&D to energy ecosystems. It aims to jointly build the technological foundation and user experience of the next-generation intelligent electric vehicles, thereby setting a new benchmark for long-term cooperation in the industry.

CATL and GAC Group will focus on joint R&D in cutting-edge fields such as intelligent chassis and battery swap ecosystems. Based on CATL's extensive expertise in power batteries, energy storage systems, and energy services, the two parties aim to develop more competitive new energy vehicle models. Regarding the product model planning of GAC Trumpchi, both sides are actively promoting the application of CATL's Bedrock Chassis technology, seeking to enhance ride quality and safety standards through this key innovation.

The collaboration goes beyond technological development. The two companies will also deepen long-term cooperation in areas such as battery leasing and joint infrastructure development, vigorously advancing the development of the Choco-Swap ecosystem. Together, they aim to build an efficient and convenient energy service network, allowing users to truly enjoy the travel experience of "swap and go".

Over the years, CATL and GAC Group have maintained close collaboration in key areas such as battery research and development, battery swap networks, and electric platforms, jointly creating many popular vehicle models such as AION RT, AION Y, Hyper HL, and Trumpchi Xiangwang S9, establishing a solid foundation of mutual trust. A decade is not merely a measure of time, but a testament to shared growth. Taking this signing as a new starting point, CATL and GAC Group will continue to expand the boundaries of cooperation and deepen industrial synergy—not only to build better vehicles, but also to help define the future of mobility.
