"Chinese battery giant CATL has launched a new standardised battery pack for
battery-swap enabled heavy-duty electric trucks.
The new standardised battery model, dubbed 75#, was launched on Sunday and
promises the lowest lifecycle cost per tonne to kilometre as well as
industry-leading safety.
CATL says trucks using this new standardised battery and ecosystem can save
around 0.62 yuan per kilometre, which converts to around $A0.13, compared to
diesel models, and deliver more than 60,000 yuan ($A13,000) in annual savings
for high-mileage operators.
The new battery pack is also reportedly compatible with 95 per cent of
mainstream vehicles and allows for flexible configurations depending on the
needs of the truck and operator.
CATL has already partnered with over 10 automakers to launch more than 30 truck
models capable of utilising the new standardised battery.
CATL and the China Communications and Transportation Association have high
hopes for this new standardised battery ecosystem, targeting 50 per cent
electric penetration in the sector within three years as part of the country’s
larger efforts to decarbonise freight transport."
