Recently, CATL commercial power battery brand and new product launch conference was held. At the meeting, CATL released the commercial power brand "CATL Tianxing" for the first time, and also released two power battery products for light logistics and transportation - Tianxing Light Commercial Vehicle (L) - supercharged version and Tianxing Light Commercial Vehicle (L) -Long battery life version (hereinafter referred to as Tianxing L-supercharged version and Tianxing L-long battery life version).

So, why did CATL release a commercial vehicle power brand at this time, and what are the characteristics of the two products launched simultaneously?

Developing zero-anxiety vehicles, CATL is the first commercial battery brand

"Tian Xing is a strong man, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement." CATL's commercial power battery brand "Tian Xing" is taken from this sentence, which is intended to pay tribute to commercial vehicle users and upstream and downstream partners.

As CATL's first commercial battery brand, CATL Tianxing aims to provide full-scenario solutions for the commercial industry and is committed to pioneering a high-quality development path in the zero-anxiety commercial era; achieving safer, more reliable, and more stable products on the research and development end. It provides users with a "good guarantee", "settled accounts" for users throughout the entire operation life cycle, and "lays out a good plan" for the transportation industry that allows users to "win in the present and control the future".

The current overall economic environment is grim, and the logistics and transportation industry is facing the competitive pressure of “more vehicles, less work, and low freight rates”. Both logistics companies and individual transportation companies are striving to "open source" while reducing costs as much as possible. In this context, new energy logistics vehicles with lower energy consumption costs and more rights of way have become one of the choices for users. At this time, CATL is aiming at the power battery brand in the commercial vehicle field, which can be said to be born at the right time.

The two new products of the CATL Tianxing L series, first released at this conference, confirm its brand concept.

Fast charging + long battery life, the main breakthrough to relieve anxiety

Although new energy logistics vehicles have many advantages, the charging time and driving range alone have deterred many people. The two products launched by CATL Tianxing this time are precisely to solve these anxieties.

By using new low-lithium consumption graphite as the negative electrode material and applying bionic self-repairing SEI passivation film technology, "CATL Tianxing" can achieve 4C overcharging and at the same time achieve a 100% increase in cycle life, significantly improving the entire battery life cycle. The internal reliability gives commercial vehicle users no worries.

"CATL Tianxing" battery adopts CTP3.0 module-free extreme grouping technology. Through topology optimization, the grouping efficiency is greatly improved. It also realizes double-layer large-surface liquid cooling, with ultra-high energy density and efficient thermal management. Efficiency significantly improves battery life while reducing battery weight.

Among them, CATL Tianxing L-supercharged version, as the first 4C supercharged light commercial vehicle power battery released, can achieve fast charging and can recharge 60% of energy in 12 minutes; at the same time, when the vehicle is fully loaded and the highway is 80 kilometers per hour, Under normal conditions, a driving range of 350 kilometers can be achieved. Together, these two items can easily relieve the mileage anxiety of urban distribution and short-distance intercity transportation. Moreover, the fast charging feature can also further improve transportation efficiency, allowing users to take orders calmly without worrying about the impact of charging time on transportation time.

Another CATL Tianxing L-long range version has a long range of 500 kilometers under full load conditions and is suitable for short and medium-distance intercity transportation. Not only does it have a long battery life, the CATL Tianxing L-long battery life version also saves money. The battery system has an energy density of 200Wh/kg, which can help reduce the weight of the vehicle by 300 kilograms. At the same time, it has a large power of 200 kilowatt-hours. It can be charged once at night and can run for a day during the day. It can take advantage of the trough electricity prices at night to further save energy costs. Compared with fuel vehicles, its economical and energy saving is more objective. According to CATL calculations, if the oil price is 7.4 yuan/liter, the annual refueling fee will be at least 140,000 yuan. However, the Tianxing L long-range version, based on charging at 0.65 yuan/degree at night, will cost less than 40,000 yuan a year, which directly saves money. 100,000 yuan is equivalent to running out a car in less than two years.

Not only that, both products have an ultra-long life span of 8 years and 800,000 kilometers. The battery warranty covers the entire life cycle of vehicle operation, relieving users' anxiety about battery decay and the residual value of second-hand electric vehicles.

It can be said that CATL Tianxing L series products have solved various users' anxieties about new energy logistics vehicles one by one, and these products have also been effectively applied to light commercial vehicles. It is understood that the CATL Tianxing L series is "in mass production upon release" and is currently supporting Foton, Geely, Dongfeng, JAC, Weichai, Jiefang, Changan Leap, Lingshi Automobile, Qingling, Rich, Shaanxi Automobile Commercial Vehicle, Xin 21 models from Yuanyuan, SAIC Light Truck and other companies.

It can be said that CATL has firmly occupied the top spot in the domestic new energy commercial vehicle power battery supporting field.

The excellent results have also become the driving force for CATL’s continuous efforts. In recent years, CATL has faced extreme environmental challenges in the field of new energy buses, launched overall solutions in the field of mining transportation, launched Qiji's one-stop heavy-duty truck chassis battery swapping solution in the field of battery swapping heavy trucks, and now CATL Tian The launch of the brand is part of CATL's continued efforts in the field of commercial vehicles.

The launch of the CATL Tianxing brand can be seen as a milestone in CATL's development in the field of commercial vehicles. In the future, it will also adhere to the CATL Tianxing brand concept and launch more advanced products to make new energy commercial vehicle operations worry-free.
