Recently, CAIT signed a strategic cooperation agreement with IAT Automobile. Based on CATL Bedrock Chassis and IAT’s vehicle design capabilities and integration technologies, the two parties will provide diversified vehicle development services to global customers. At the same time, they will promote the R&D of skateboard chassis technology and industry collaboration, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the automotive sector.

The Bedrock Chassis is a highly integrated intelligent skateboard platform developed around CATL’s power battery. It significantly improves cell-to-chassis assembly efficiency as well as the conversion efficiency of the cell-electric drive-thermal management system. By decoupling the chassis from the vehicle body, the Bedrock Chassis enables the separation, synchronized development, and parallel iteration of the vehicle body space and chassis driving modules, helping new energy partners greatly shorten new model development cycles, reduce redundant development and resource investment, and accelerate time-to-market while ensuring high safety and quality.

With extensive experience in vehicle design and integration, IAT excels at translating user needs into product expression and has accumulated mature engineering capabilities in the development of new energy vehicles. IAT’s core business focuses on full-process vehicle and vehicle platform R&D, development of new energy intelligent platforms, and the R&D and manufacturing of key components. Its operations cover full-process R&D for passenger, commercial, and specialty vehicles, as well as skateboard chassis, along with software and hardware development for new energy intelligent platforms. With over 20 years of deep technical expertise and experience in nearly 500 vehicle models, IAT has evolved into an innovative automotive technology company with core technological advantages, forward-looking technology deployment, and a global strategic vision.

This strategic cooperation reflects CAIT’s philosophy of “open technology, open ecosystem” and represents an exploration of the integrated development of skateboard chassis technology and vehicle design. Moving forward, the two parties will leverage their respective areas of expertise to jointly provide global new energy vehicle and mobility partners with high-value, end-to-end, and diversified technological and industrial services, working together to deliver a safer, smarter, and more comfortable mobility experience for consumers.
