Beijing (Gasgoo)- On January 22, Dongfeng Motor announced its new energy vehicle (NEV) brand eπ signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei at Huawei's headquarters in Shenzhen. The duo aims to co-develop intelligent vehicle products, enhance marketing efforts, and build a robust ecosystem for mid-to-high-end smart vehicles, delivering an advanced intelligent mobility experience.

The partnership capitalizes on Huawei's expertise in ICT infrastructure and intelligent device technology to strengthen eπ's position in the mainstream smart NEV market. By combining the strengths of a leading NEV brand and a premier intelligent vehicle component provider, the collaboration seeks to drive the rapid adoption and high-quality development of smart vehicles.

Dongfeng Motor has consistently pursued a strategy of self-reliance and open collaboration, balancing mastery of core technologies with partnerships across the supply chain. Through alliances with industry leaders like Huawei, Dongfeng Motor is building an open, cooperative ecosystem to accelerate technological advancements.

In 2024, Dongfeng deepened its strategic ties with Huawei, translating technological innovation into market competitiveness. Notable collaborations included the launch of the VOYAH DREAM MPV, the first MPV equipped with Huawei's HarmonyOS smart cockpit and Qiankun intelligent driving system, in September 2024.

Additionally, their jointly developed new-generation Tianyuan Architecture, featuring Huawei's Qiankun vehicle control module, will debut on vehicle models under Dongfeng Motor's VOYAH and MHERO brands, with plans to expand its application across Dongfeng's entire passenger and commercial vehicle lineup.

[Solid-State Battery: Sinocera Completes Construction of Automated Production Line for Sulphide Solid-State Electrolytes, Initial Mass Production Capacity Established]

[Solid-State Battery: Sinocera Materials Constructs Automated Production Line for Sulfide Solid Electrolyte, Initial Mass Production Capability Established] On August 5, 2026, Sinocera Materials stated at an analyst meeting that as the industrialisation of all-solid-state batteries advances, sulfide solid electrolytes, due to advantages such as high ionic conductivity, have become a core critical material. The company has completed the construction of an automated production line for sulfide solid electrolyte, with initial mass production capacity established, and product quality has been highly recognized by clients. The company is closely supporting the industrialisation process of key downstream clients, and will subsequently plan the expansion pace reasonably based on changes in market demand and the industrialisation progress of downstream clients, collaboratively promoting the commercial implementation of all-solid-state batteries. This marks an important period for China's sulfide solid electrolyte sector transitioning from “laboratory samples” to “production line bulk supply,” filling a critical jigsaw piece for large-scale mass production in the upstream key material segment of the all-solid-state battery industry chain.

Solid-State Battery: Crown New Materials Completes Client Sample Trial of Solid-State Battery Aluminum-Plastic Film, with Substantially Improved High-Temperature Resistance

[Solid-State Battery: Crown Advanced Materials Completes Client Sample Trial of Solid-State Battery Aluminum-Plastic Film, Significantly Enhancing High-Temperature Resistance] On August 5, 2026, Crown Advanced Materials stated, while responding to investor inquiries on an interactive platform, that the company had strengthened the R&D of solid-state battery aluminum-plastic film in response to market demand and had completed client sample trials. The R&D team for the aluminum-plastic film addressed the high-temperature resistance needs of solid-state batteries by selecting a modified resin that withstands 120°C for the composite bonding material, which improved the interlayer peel strength by over 40% in an 85°C temperature environment and by over 50% in a 120°C temperature environment. This ensures the stability of the product's interlayer peel strength under high temperatures, providing a new technical solution for solid-state battery packaging materials.
