Shanghai (Gasgoo)- CATL and JD.com signed a strategic cooperation agreement on October 15, 2025, marking a new phase of collaboration between China's leading battery manufacturer and its top e-commerce and logistics group, according to a post on CATL's WeChat account.
The partnership spans a wide range of sectors including consumer battery retail, green logistics, warehousing and zero-carbon industrial parks, digitalized industrial supply chains, administrative and employee service platforms, data center operations, and overseas business support.
Through the alliance, CATL and JD.com aim to accelerate the green transformation of industrial operations and the digital upgrade of supply chain management—jointly supporting China's "dual carbon" goals and setting new standards for sustainable industry development.
JD.com, a major player across retail, technology, logistics, industrial, healthcare, and international businesses, brings extensive experience in digital operations and large-scale logistics networks. Against the backdrop of global industrial decarbonization and digital transformation, the two companies will center their collaboration on two strategic pillars: establishing a new paradigm for sustainable, low-carbon development, and improving cost-efficiency through intelligent supply chain operations.
Under the sustainability initiative, CATL and JD.com will accelerate the electrification of urban delivery fleets and expand applications for CATL's innovative battery-swap technologies in heavy-duty trucks. The two will also work together to build an integrated domestic and international logistics network that enables efficient, safe, and zero-carbon transport of batteries and related products.
On the digitalization front, the companies plan to strengthen their data-driven supply chain systems for both general and industrial goods, co-develop new data centers, and extend these capabilities in line with their global expansion. The partnership aims to enhance procurement efficiency and operational resilience through shared digital infrastructure and smart logistics solutions.
In addition, CATL and JD.com will collaborate on developing new service models in the consumer battery market. Within the new energy vehicle (NEV) ecosystem, the two will establish official direct sales channels for CATL's "Choco-Swap" battery-swap system, promoting vehicle-battery separation and supporting the sales of battery-swap-enabled vehicles.
They will also leverage JD Auto Service's nationwide maintenance network to expand into the battery aftermarket, offering professional-grade services for NEV owners and strengthening the overall ecosystem of China's growing new energy vehicle industry.
