SMM News: Honda and Ningde Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Ningde Times") signed an omni-directional strategic cooperation agreement on new energy vehicle power batteries to strengthen the promotion of electric vehicles and accelerate the strategic partnership. This strategic cooperation will cover the joint development, stable supply, recycling and other areas of power batteries.

Accelerate the realization of the strategic goal of electrification

Honda and Ningde era will combine the technological advantages of both sides to jointly develop new energy vehicle power battery and future battery basic technology. Through this cooperation, Honda will get a stable supply of Ningde era batteries, which are mainly composed of pure electric vehicle (BEV) batteries. Chinese-made new energy vehicles equipped with Ningde era power batteries are expected to be first launched to the Chinese market in 2022, and the two sides will also explore expanded cooperation in the global field in the future. In addition, the two sides will also discuss the recovery and reuse of power batteries in the future.

Honda is a global manufacturer of mobile tools for motorcycles, automobiles, Life Creation and aircraft, accelerating electrification in the field of electric vehicle development. Ningde era focuses on the research, development, production and sales of new energy vehicle power battery system and energy storage system, and is committed to providing first-class solutions for global new energy applications. The two sides will jointly achieve the goal of global electrification by strengthening technical cooperation and a strong battery supply system.

Honda will participate in about 1% of Ningde Times share subscription.

Honda will participate in Ningde Times' subscription for the private offering, with a share of about 1 per cent. By investing in stock options, Honda will become an important strategic partner in Ningde era. Ningde Times will provide Honda with power battery solutions with market competitiveness and life cycle cost advantages and maintain a stable supply. The funds obtained from the non-public offering will be used for power battery research and upgrading and capacity expansion projects in the Ningde era. The two sides will promote the global electrification process through technical cooperation and a highly competitive battery supply system.

Honda Technology Research Industry Co., Ltd. specializes in Monozukuri as the third part of Minhong said: "through this cooperation, the partnership between Honda and Ningde era has been strengthened. In order to accelerate electrification, Ningde era is a partner that can provide new strength to Honda.

PetroChina's First Green Electricity Direct Connection Project Approved in Tarim

On March 12, PetroChina’s Tarim Oilfield “Aksu, Shaya County, Fuman Block PV Green Electricity Direct Connection Project” officially received approval from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region National Development and Reform Commission, making it PetroChina’s first approved green electricity direct connection project. Located in the Taklamakan Desert south of Shaya County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, the project is a comprehensive green energy project integrating generation-grid-load-storage. According to the plan, the green electricity direct connection project will build a PV power station with a total installed capacity of 100,000 kW as the source of green power. To ensure stable power supply and reduce the curtailment of PV power generation, an additional 20 MW/80 MWh ESS power station will be added to serve as a super “power bank,” effectively smoothing PV fluctuations and ensuring continuous power supply to the load. Connecting the power supply and the power consumption side will be a planned 2.5-km direct power transmission line and a 110-kV substation.

[Phosphorus Chemical Industry: Wengfu's Wet-Process 85 Phosphoric Acid Rose by 700 yuan Within Half a Month, and Iron Phosphate Production Costs Came Under Upward Pressure]

[Phosphorus Chemical Industry: Wengfu's Wet-Process 85 Phosphoric Acid Rose by 700 yuan/mt Within Half a Month, Pushing Iron Phosphate Production Costs Higher Under Pressure] On March 16, 2026, SMM reported that phosphorus giant Wengfu Group raised the ex-factory price of wet-process 85 phosphoric acid by 200 yuan/mt yesterday. Wengfu implemented a "price adjustment on every 5th" mechanism (the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month). This marked the second price adjustment in March, bringing the cumulative increase to 700 yuan/mt (it had already increased by 500 yuan/mt on March 5). The continued increases in phosphoric acid prices brought significant cost pressure to new energy enterprises, while the production costs of iron phosphate via the iron-process and sodium-process routes rose by several hundred yuan accordingly.
