The implementation of the CATL project provides a guarantee for the completeness and completeness of the new energy vehicle industry chain in Lingang New Area. On the morning of February 19, 2022, the Lingang New Area held a centralized commencement ceremony for the construction project in February 2022. A total of 14 projects have been started this time. The projects cover cutting-edge industries such as new energy vehicles, biomedicine, and civil aviation, as well as residential, Municipal transportation, ecological environment and other fields, with a total construction area of 1.08 million square meters and a total investment of 18.742 billion yuan.

The CATL industrial projects started in the main venue are the Ruiting battery base project and the intelligent technology project, with a total land area of 283,721.1 square meters, a total construction area of about 350,000 square meters, and a planned investment of 2.8 billion yuan. The project will rely on CATL's latest manufacturing technology and global lighthouse factory construction experience to build a green, efficient and intelligent factory in Lingang New Area, and optimize the layout of the new energy industry.

The project will focus on the research and development and application of low-energy and long-range power battery system architecture and control system integration development and application, high-efficiency battery system thermal management and low-temperature environment application technology research and development and application and multi-level battery safety protection technology research and development, greatly improving the integration of new energy vehicle systems. Efficiency, the system solves the key pain points of the new energy vehicle mileage anxiety, fast charging and other industries, and accelerates the process of new energy vehicle industrialization.

After the completion of the project, CATL will give full play to its advantages as a leading enterprise in the new energy industry chain, promote technological research and development in cutting-edge fields, and will build and deploy "four major innovations" in Shanghai including advanced materials, system structure, extreme manufacturing and business model innovation. system”, realize the upgrading of key technologies in the industry, help Shanghai build its advantages in technological innovation, help Shanghai build a scientific and technological innovation center with global influence, and build a new energy technology innovation source and industry based in Shanghai, facing the Yangtze River Delta, radiating the whole country, and leading the world. Ecological Heights.

According to public information, after the Tesla Shanghai Super Factory was put into operation, a large number of upstream suppliers were attracted to Lingang, and the intelligent new energy vehicle industry became the first 100 billion-level industry in Lingang New Area. CATL is an important supplier to Tesla, and will inspect and select a site in Lingang in March 2021. Lingang Group established a major project promotion team to find a ready-made factory with a suitable address. After CATL leases it, it only needs to do some interior decoration and small-scale renovation before it can be put into production. In November 2021, the Ningde Lingang factory has already supplied products to Tesla. Editor/Sang Xiaomei
