WOLFSBURG, Germany: Volkswagen is strengthening its push into China's electric vehicle (EV) sector by partnering with CATL, the world's largest battery manufacturer, to develop next-generation lithium batteries tailored for the region.
The collaboration aims to enhance battery performance and cost efficiency for Volkswagen's electrified models in China, the German automaker's key market.
A Volkswagen spokesperson confirmed that the companies have signed a statement of intent to create "bespoke batteries with higher performance and more efficient cost structures for specific models in the Chinese market."
Beyond battery development, Volkswagen and CATL plan to expand their partnership into other areas of electrification. According to CATL, future collaborations will include battery recycling initiatives and vehicle-to-grid technology, which allows energy from EVs to be transferred back into the power grid.
