On January 28, GAC Lingcheng and Remote New Energy Commercial Vehicles signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Guangzhou. Attendees included Qin Haining from Guangzhou Public Transport Group, Fan Xianjun from Remote Commercial Vehicles, and Zhang Zhiyong from GAC Lingcheng. The two parties will engage in comprehensive cooperation to jointly promote the green and intelligent transformation of commercial vehicles.

Leveraging their respective strengths in R&D, manufacturing, and distribution channels, the two sides will deepen collaboration in areas such as technological development and market expansion. By complementing each other's advantages, they aim to accelerate technological iteration and market popularization, thereby enhancing industry competitiveness.

This cooperation aligns with the "dual carbon" goals and the industry trends of new energy adoption and intelligent transformation. It represents a significant strategic move for both parties and is expected to inject new momentum into the new energy transition of commercial vehicles.

Zhang Zhiyong stated that as a top-tier enterprise in the industry, Remote Commercial Vehicles possesses strong capabilities. He expressed anticipation that the collaboration would achieve a "1+1>2" effect, creating high-quality products and empowering users and industry development.

Fan Xianjun pointed out that GAC Lingcheng has profound expertise in vehicle manufacturing. This cooperation is an important implementation of Remote's open strategy. The two sides will jointly build a green and intelligent transportation ecosystem to promote high-quality industry development.

Qin Haining expressed high expectations for the cooperation, hoping that both parties would leverage the public transport scenarios in Guangdong to develop innovative products characterized by "Guangzhou R&D, manufacturing, and application," thereby contributing to urban green transportation construction and the realization of "dual carbon" goals.

As the new energy transition of commercial vehicles enters a critical phase, this collaboration is expected to set an industry example in areas such as technological breakthroughs and shared infrastructure development. It will accelerate the large-scale application of commercial vehicles with multiple technological routes and support emission reduction in the transportation sector.

This powerful alliance demonstrates the strategic foresight of the enterprises. It will break through technological bottlenecks, reduce costs, expand markets, enhance the level of China's new energy commercial vehicle industry, and lay a foundation for achieving the "dual carbon" goals.

[SMM Weekly Review] The cobalt sulphate market remained generally sluggish this week, but market sentiment for procurement recovered compared to the previous period, supported by positive news from the upstream mining sector.

This week, the cobalt sulphate market remained largely sluggish overall. However, supported by positive news from the upstream mining sector, market purchasing sentiment showed some recovery compared to the previous period. Supply side, as the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, most smelters have successively arranged for production halts and maintenance. Combined with mining news strengthening bullish expectations for the future market, some enterprises have chosen to suspend quotations, while those maintaining quotations have raised their target prices to 96,000-98,000 yuan/mt. Demand side, due to concerns about a rapid price increase for cobalt sulphate after the holiday, downstream enterprises' purchase willingness has strengthened. It is reported that some companies' purchase intention prices for high-nickel cobalt sulphate have rebounded to 92,000 yuan/mt, while the purchase intention prices for low-nickel cobalt sulphate are in the range of 95,000-96,000 yuan/mt. Overall, as logistics gradually halt before the Chinese New Year, actual market transactions are expected to be quite limited next week, and cobalt sulphate prices are likely to remain largely stable. After the holiday, as downstream enterprises gradually resume procurement, prices may regain an upward trend.

[SMM Weekly Review] The domestic refined cobalt market experienced limited overall changes this week, with spot prices fluctuating at lows.

This week, the domestic refined cobalt market saw limited overall changes, with spot prices fluctuating at lows. Supply side, affected by the decline in futures prices, mainstream smelters' spot premiums were too high, leading them to lower ex-factory prices; traders were bullish on the market outlook, hedgers raised spot-futures price spread quotes, while some unilateral speculators temporarily suspended quotations to observe the market. Demand side, as prices gradually stabilized, purchase willingness among some end-users recovered, with mainstream transaction prices concentrated in the range of 415,000–420,000 yuan/mt. Fundamentally, this round of price correction in domestic refined cobalt was mainly driven by market capital fluctuations and the broad decline in other metal prices. In the short term, as cobalt intermediate products still cannot arrive at ports in large quantities, the tight supply pattern of upstream raw materials has not fundamentally changed, and refined cobalt prices are expected to remain supported on the downside.

[SMM Weekly Review] The cobalt intermediate products market remained in a state of "quoted prices without actual transactions" this week, with prices stabilizing in the range of $25.5-$26.0/lb.

The cobalt intermediate products market remained in a state of nominal pricing with thin trading this week, with prices holding steady in the range of $25.5–26.0/lb. News such as the US "stockpiling plan" and the acquisition of certain cobalt mining rights of overseas miners by US-funded enterprises heightened market concerns about cobalt raw material shortages in China in 2026, strengthening suppliers' willingness to hold prices firm. However, as the year-end approaches, some smelters have entered the stage of clearing production lines and preparing for shutdowns, leading to a noticeable decline in purchase willingness and resulting in sluggish actual market transactions. Overall, against the backdrop of large-scale arrivals of cobalt intermediate products remaining distant, increased geopolitical risks are expected to exacerbate the structural tightness of domestic intermediate products, maintaining upward pressure on prices.
