Président de CATL : les ventes de véhicules à énergie nouvelle en Chine dépassent 7,4 millions au premier semestre, et souligne la précision dans la production de batteries
Le président de CATL, Zeng Yuqun, dans une allocution vidéo adressée à la Conférence mondiale sur les batteries de puissance 2026, a déclaré qu'au premier semestre de cette année, les ventes de véhicules à énergie nouvelle en Chine ont dépassé 7,4 millions d'unités, avec plus de 600 nouveaux modèles lancés, soit une moyenne de près de trois par jour. Tout le monde rivalise sur la vitesse, les spécifications et les prix, et les cycles de développement raccourcissent. Il a souligné que les batteries de puissance exigent une précision extrêmement élevée et tolèrent très peu l'erreur. En production de masse, tous les petits problèmes sont amplifiés de nombreuses fois, de sorte que chaque processus et chaque paramètre doivent être strictement contrôlés dès la phase de conception, les anomalies doivent être identifiées à l'avance, et il doit y avoir une tolérance zéro pour les problèmes de qualité.
