On February 24, Foton Motor disclosed that its collaboratively developed hybrid solid-liquid batteries have achieved mass production and market launch. The company's hybrid solid-liquid battery product sales reached 10,000 units in 2025. All-solid-state batteries are currently in the stage of technology reserve and product development. Additionally, the battery-swapping heavy-duty truck business in collaboration with CATL is progressing as normal.

Recently, battery joint venture ACC has terminated its plans to build super battery plants in Germany and Italy. The decision to suspend the construction of battery plants in Germany and Italy was made due to considerations of shifting from nickel-based battery chemistry to lithium iron phosphate battery technology. The company had previously planned to build three super plants in Europe — in France, Germany, and Italy — with a total investment of approximately 7 billion euros. The goal was to increase ACC's battery production capacity to at least 120 GWh by 2030. However, the projects in Germany and Italy have been on hold since May 2024. With this announcement of termination, only the French battery plant will remain operational.
