Recently, the 2nd PERIKLINDO EV Conference concluded successfully in Bali, Indonesia. Mr. Yang Hanbing, CEO of Contemporary Amperex Intelligent Technology, delivered a keynote speech titled “Empowering ASEAN’s Energy Transition with Intelligent Mobility Carrier Solutions.”

As Indonesia’s NEV sector is accelerating from “localized production” to “building indigenous capabilities”, during this visit to Indonesia, Contemporary Amperex Intelligent Technology proposed a ”1+1+1 Localized Cooperation Model" based on its Bedrock Skateboard Chassis. The solution aims to empower the transformation and upgrading of ASEAN's new energy industry, enabling stakeholders to seize opportunities in the global industrial transformation, and achieve leapfrog development.

01 “1+1+1” Localized Partnership Model:
Building ASEAN's NEV Industry Chain

With a population of nearly 300 million, over 40 multinational automotive brands, and an annual production capacity exceeding 1.2 million vehicles, Indonesia—bolstered by favorable policies—holds the comprehensive advantages in leading ASEAN's NEV market transformation. CATL is collaborating with Indonesian state-owned enterprises ANTAM and IBI to advance a USD 6 billion national-level battery industry chain project, covering the full ecosystem from nickel mining and battery manufacturing to recycling.

Leveraging the Bedrock Chassis, Contemporary Amperex Intelligent Technology has introduced the “1+1+1” Localized Partnership Model: “1” chassis technology platform, “1” R&D pipeline , and “1” local brand operation system. This model enables Indonesian partners to co-develop region-specific NEV products, establishing a complete NEV industry chain—from batteries to vehicles to brand ownership.

“In Indonesia, for Indonesia—we aim to see truly Indonesian-designed, Indonesian-developed, and Indonesian-made vehicles,” said Mr. Yang Hanbing, "This mode also represents a pioneering exploration of our overseas collaboration framework.”

02 Redefining the Path:
Ultra-Safe Bedrock Chassis Empowers Automotive Industry Upgrade

The Bedrock Chassis, with CTC (Cell to Chassis) technology as its core, directly integrates batteries into the chassis while incorporating critical components such as steering, braking, suspension, e-Drive systems, and thermal management systems. It is an innovative product that combines key technologies including EIC integration, software control, and hardware design. Based on three design principles - “Top hat decoupled from chassis , high integration, and open architecture" - the Bedrock Chassis provides partners with a highly secure and efficient hardware foundation, ushering in a new paradigm for NEV R&D.

CATL's battery cell failure rate has been reduced to one in a billion (industry average: approximately one in a million). The Bedrock Chassis maintains CATL's high safety standards for battery cells, establishing a NEV safety ecosystem across multiple dimensions including cell safety, structural safety, high-voltage safety, and intelligent safety. It can withstand the frontal pole impact at up to 120km/h without catching fire or exploding, far exceeding the 5-star safety requirements of global NCAP crash tests.

03 Towards the Future:
Establishing New Benchmarks for Zero-Carbon Technology in ASEAN

The Bedrock Chassis provides the technological foundation for NEV sector upgrade, while the “1+1+1” Localized Partnership Mode lays the groundwork for cross-regional collaboration. Moving forward, Contemporary Amperex Intelligent Technology will empower partners in ASEAN through comprehensive product, service, and technological support to jointly establish new zero-carbon technology benchmarks. This initiative aims to enable countries and regions in Southeast Asia and beyond—especially those with aspirations for independent automotive brands—to rapidly master NEV industry technologies, ride the wave of energy transition, and achieve sustainable development.
