This selection involves the following fields: vehicle integration and control, electrokinetic batteries, hydrogen energy and fuel cells, drive systems, AI applications, lightweight and new materials, and energy supply. At last, 11 cutting-edge and innovative technologies were shortlisted. CIIC of CATL (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology was selected for innovative breakthroughs in “integrated architecture design, safe and efficient battery, motor and electronic control systems and intelligent chassis control.”

The New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035) specifies the necessity to "develop a next-generation modularized high-performance vehicle platforms, and work to achieve integrated chassis design for pure electric vehicles and multi-energy power system integration.” In addition to solving technical problems related to new energy vehicles in terms of power, efficiency, and safety, CIIC features a groundbreaking product form that will accelerate the intelligent transformation of new energy vehicles.

Under the software-defined and scenario-defined trend of vehicle development, vehicles will evolve towards smart mobile spaces. As the basic unit playing the roles of an energy center, a sports center, and a data center, CIIC will better enable travel partners to focus on the development of the upper body with a strong correlation to user experience, such as intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, and vehicle styling. This chassis with utmost safety and high efficiency will enable personalized and scenario-based models, and CATL will collaborate with global partners to create a new era of mobile travel.
