The 18,000-tonne ship, equipped with 7,000 vehicle spaces, will depart with more than 5,000 Chinese-made cars bound for the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, and other European destinations.

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On May 22, Geely Automobile's logistics arm, JISU Logistics, held the naming and maiden voyage ceremony for its first self-operated roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessel, JISU FORTUNE, at Haitong Terminal in Suzhou Port's Taicang port area, according to a post on an official WeChat account of Taicang government.

The 18,000-tonne ship, equipped with 7,000 vehicle spaces, will depart with more than 5,000 Chinese-made cars bound for the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, and other European destinations.

As JISU Logistics' first self-owned RoRo ship, JISU FORTUNE measures 199.9 meters in length and 38 meters in beam, with 12 decks capable of transporting both internal combustion engine and lithium battery vehicles. Four of the decks are height-adjustable to accommodate various vehicle sizes, while the 11th and 12th decks are designed to carry new energy vehicles powered by hydrogen or natural gas.

The vessel is outfitted with two 2,000-cubic-meter C-type LNG storage tanks and runs primarily on liquefied natural gas (LNG), significantly cutting emissions of nitrogen and sulfur oxides. As a new-generation eco-friendly vessel, it improves fuel efficiency and aligns with Geely’s commitment to green logistics.

Geely, a longstanding client of Taicang Port, has previously exported vehicles from multiple regions, including Wuhan and Zhejiang, through this hub to Europe and the Middle East. JISU Logistics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geely, has built a comprehensive logistics network covering pre-production, production, and post-production phases across domestic and international operations.

Geely's overseas performance continues to gain momentum. In April 2025 alone, the company exported 24,133 vehicles, bringing its total exports from January to April to 114,086 units. The launch of JISU FORTUNE is expected to further boost Geely's international sales and enhance its global logistics capabilities.

[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.
