[China's Highway Transport Capacity Continues to Expand, New Energy Truck Penetration Rate Exceeds 40%] The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing released the "2026 China Highway Transport Capacity Development Report" today (July 10). According to the report, in 2025, the highway transport market continued to adjust and optimize, with the capacity structure rapidly upgrading towards scaling, specialization, and greening, while enterprises' risk resistance capacity and normalized operational resilience improved. Survey data showed that in the highway freight capacity structure at the time, internal combustion engine vehicles still dominated, accounting for approximately 50%, but new energy vehicles had already formed an irreversible substitution trend in specific scenarios. Among the surveyed enterprises, the penetration rate of new energy trucks was 44.4%. Among enterprises that had purchased new energy vehicles, 37.5% chose to "continue expanding the new energy vehicle fleet," and 37.5% chose to "maintain the current scale."

[SMM Analysis] Riding the Winds In and Outside China, Breaking the Iron Law of Old Cycles: 2026 Energy Storage Battery Cell Semi-Annual Review and Outlook

[SMM Analysis] In H1, the overflow of global utility-scale energy storage long-term contracts intertwined with the growing pains of production line upgrades. This not only completely shattered the cyclical pattern of "retreat after rapid rise" in the energy storage market, but also directly triggered a structural shortage and a strong price recovery for 314Ah battery cells. Furthermore, driven by the looming cancellation of tax rebates at year-end, an even more intense wave of "export rush" is gaining momentum, potentially pushing the full-year battle between volume and price to its peak.
