On January 16, the REPT Battero-SAIKE Technology Chongqing Project Construction Campaign was successfully held in Fuling High-Tech Zone, Chongqing. This project is a further collaboration between Tsingshan and SAIC Group after their joint venture in Liuzhou for new energy lithium batteries and power battery systems. Through the "cell + system" collaborative model, REPT SAIKE provides cells while SAIKE REPT handles system integration, deepening the industrial chain synergy. The initial phase of the project is planned to have an annual production capacity of 12GWh of ESS and power new energy lithium batteries, mainly producing power batteries for passenger and commercial vehicles as well as home and industrial and commercial ESS batteries. The production line design will meet the production needs of a diversified product system, including the self-developed "Wending Battery."
