^{On September 4, at the KPMG China Automotive Industry Summit 2024, CATL (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology was honored with a spot on the KPMG China's 7th “Top 50 Automotive Technology Companies” list for its innovative CIIC. This honor showcased the technological strength of CATL (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology in new energy vehicles, as well as further verified the crucial role of CIIC in boosting intelligent automotive transformation.}

Innovative Design Driving Industrial Transformation

CIIC has attracted widespread attention in the auto industry with its unique features of “decoupling of the upper body and lower chassis, high-level integration, and open access.” This innovative design enables the separation of the chassis from the upper body, which makes the former a mobile energy unit with self-driving capabilities, while assuming the roles of a sports center, an energy center, and a data center. Not only does it improve motion and flexibility, but also open up possibilities for automobile design and the definition of intelligent functions.  

The overall design of CIIC focuses on the battery and integrates the battery cell into the chassis with the CTC (Cell to Chassis) design for efficiency of the chassis assembly. Such an application allows a cruising range of over 1,000km for CIIC, or downgrades the battery chemical system for the same cruising range, and supports a variety of battery categories and battery replacement solutions. Moreover, the chassis also integrates electric drive and thermal management subsystems, which achieves the integration of the battery, motor and electronic control systems, improves system efficiency, and saves more space for the upper body.

Winning Market Recognition with Robust Technological Strength

CIIC can cater to an extended variety of car models through scalable architecture and standardized interface design. This feature allows customers the access to a flexible selection of subsystem solutions in accordance with different product definitions and functional requirements.

With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle market and the growing demand of consumers for intelligent and personalized functions, there is a promising future for CIIC in the market. In the future, CATL (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology will continue to dig deeper into the new energy vehicle market, launch more competitive products and technical solutions, and contribute to the intelligent transformation of the auto industry.
