Company Profile

We are committed to the research and development, manufacturing, sales and service of high-power lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and construction machinery, as well as large-capacity, long-cycle lithium-ion batteries for energy storage systems.

We have a comprehensive product and technology system that includes battery cells, modules, system integration, and battery management system (BMS) development, based on high-power lithium-ion batteries and battery system products for long-cycle energy storage devices. We offer advanced energy applications and full lifecycle services. Our product portfolio includes products utilizing lithium manganese oxide and lithium iron phosphate, among others, to meet the needs of high-power applications and energy storage applications in various scenarios.

Our power battery products can be widely used in electric vehicles, including commercial vehicles (such as buses, trucks, etc.) and special vehicles (such as forklifts) and other engineering machinery. Our power battery products are produced and sold in the form of battery cells, battery modules and battery packs according to customer needs. We provide customized high-power power battery solutions. According to the customer’s operational application requirements, we provide a variety of battery chemical compositions and offer customers a variety of different battery solutions, including lithium iron phosphate (LFP) as well as ultra-high power versions and regular high power versions of nickel, manganese, and cobalt. The ultra-fast charging capability of our battery system means that commercial electric vehicles equipped with our batteries only need to charge for 10 to 30 minutes (depending on the chemical composition of the battery) to meet a full day’s electricity needs..

Currently, the energy storage market is in a rapid development stage. Capitalizing on this market opportunity, we have entered the energy storage market with mature and leading BMS technology, energy management system (EMS) technology, and PACK technology (assembling battery modules into battery packs). Leveraging our leading advantages and rich experience in the field of power batteries, we have the full-stack technology and production capacity to build energy storage core components. We are able to control safety risks in all technical aspects of the entire energy storage product chain, including cell material formulation, cell design, electrical safety design, BMS design, and fire protection pipeline design. Our goal is to become a leading provider of full industry chain solutions in the energy storage industry. Our energy storage products are expected to be used in China wind and solar energy storage projects, overseas multi-scenario energy storage projects, China industrial parks, and building energy storage projects.
