Commercial cooperation mainly involves battery supply, development cooperation and battery recycling or reuse. During the validity period of the agreement, Ningde Times will guarantee the supply of the agreed types of batteries to Honda on certain commercial preferential terms, subject to the separate purchase agreement signed between the company and Honda or its subsidiaries.

In terms of battery recovery and reuse, the two sides will jointly study the feasibility of recycling waste batteries, preparing lithium raw materials, or cascade utilization of power batteries.
