-- Recently, CATL and Changan Mazda Automobile (hereinafter referred to as "Changan Mazda") signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Shanghai, under which both parties will, based on CATL's CIIC (Integrated Intelligent Chassis) - commonly known as the Skateboard Chassis - and Changan Mazda's vehicle manufacturing capabilities, jointly develop new energy vehicles (NEVs) featuring better intelligence and higher efficiency. The collaboration will inject strong momentum into Changan Mazda's electrification strategy while offering the industry a model for transformation through "technology integration and efficient development".
The two companies plan to deepen cooperation in the skateboard chassis segment by combining their respective strengths. CATL's platform features a decoupled upper and lower body design, modular subsystems, standardized interfaces, and a hardware-software decoupling architecture. These characteristics allow for rapid adaptation across multiple vehicle models, significantly shortening development cycles and enabling both parties to respond more flexibly to evolving market demands.
Looking ahead, CATL and Changan Mazda will continue to explore the application of the latest NEV technologies, aiming to deliver high-quality, safe NEVs and drive forward the transition to electrification.
