CATL Chairman and CEO Robin Zeng Outlines Vision for Global Zero-Carbon Transition and Deeper Collaboration at Major Conference
CHENGDU, China, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Dr. Robin Zeng, Chairman and CEO of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), delivered a speech at the second Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange. During the speech, Dr. Zeng detailed CATL's commitment to open collaboration and mutually beneficial development global wise, with a significant focus on empowering emerging economies. In his address, Dr. Zeng emphasized CATL's readiness to foster deep industrial cooperation and share its advanced technologies to accelerate the global energy transition. "There are many ways we can cooperate," Dr. Zeng stated. "CATL is willing to co-build factories, form joint ventures, and engage in commercial agreements on technology licensing." This collaborative spirit is central to CATL's strategy of building localized ecosystems and supporting partners worldwide in their journey towards carbon neutrality. Highlighting the significant opportunities in transport electrification, CATL noted the rapid pace of EV market growth in countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. CATL is actively pursuing partnerships in the region, such as its collaboration with Arun Plus in Thailand to supply batteries and support the nation's ambition to become Southeast Asia's EV hub; and its co-development of a full industrial value chain—from mining to recycling—to localize Indonesia's EV ecosystem. Beyond transportation, CATL's comprehensive "Zero-Carbon Tech" solutions encompass innovative energy storage systems that are crucial for unlocking the full potential of renewable energy. Its grid-forming storage systems enable independent microgrids, which are essential for remote regions and industrial sites. One notable example is the 19GWh battery energy storage system powering Masdar's "AI + Zero-Carbon" green data center in the UAE. To promote battery circularity across society, CATL plans to roll out 1,000 Choco-Swap stations by 2025. The footprint is expanding into Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR, with construction officially underway on Hong Kong's first Choco-Swap station. In the medium term, CATL aims to establish 10,000 stations in collaboration with automotive partners. Furthermore, CATL's advanced battery recycling technology—which processed 130,000 tons of waste batteries last year—underscores its strong commitment to the circular economy. Dr. Zeng also touched upon the concept of "industrial decarbonization," explaining it as the transformation of traditional high-energy-consumption industries with new energy solutions, such as using hydrometallurgy to reduce carbon emissions. This approach, combined with "new energy industrialization," aims to create new economic growth engines and green transformation pathways, particularly relevant for nations seeking industrial upgrading and sustainable development. CATL's strategy involves fostering a global production network to ensure market supply and development worldwide, exemplified by its major investments in European manufacturing, including Europe's largest battery base in Hungary and a new factory in Spain with Stellantis. These initiatives are designed to deeply integrate CATL into regional new energy industry chains, enhancing local value and technological advancement. With over 43,000 patents and nearly 20 billion yuan invested annually in battery R&D, CATL continues to innovate in battery materials, chemical systems, and beyond. In 2024, CATL ranked second among all Chinese companies in overseas patent applications. "As a global leader in innovation and technology, CATL is willing to collaborate with business and scientific communities across all international partner countries," Dr. Zeng concluded. "We are eager to contribute - for humanity's new energy's sake, for humanity's sustainable development, and for building a community with a shared future for mankind!" CATL's recent listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange further demonstrates its deeper integration into global capital markets, providing a vital platform to support its expanding production capacity, supplier network, and talent pool, enabling more diverse cooperation with international partners towards a zero-carbon future. The company aims for its factories to be carbon-neutral this year and is committed to achieving carbon neutrality across its battery supply chain by 2035.

China's CATL a top subsidy recipient on first-half figure alone
TOKYO -- China's leading electric vehicle battery maker CATL did not reveal how much it received in state subsidies in its last full-year disclosure before raising $5.3 billion in a secondary share listing in Hong Kong this week. The company, officially known as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., had previously shared such information in accordance with disclosure rules set by mainland Chinese authorities, as it has been listed in Shenzhen since 2018 and dual-listed in Hong Kong since Tuesday.

A Tesla battery supplier just had a huge IPO
The world's largest EV battery maker just shook the global financing stage with its IPO in Hong Kong. CATL, or Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd., saw its shares surge 16% on Tuesday, raising $4.6 billion in the world's largest public offering so far this year. CATL is already listed on China's Shenzhen Stock Exchange and has a market valuation surpassing 1 trillion yuan (about $138.7 billion), but its Hong Kong debut is a bold statement about the company's financial strength and global ambitions. The company's decision to dual-list is seen as part of CATL's larger strategy to tap into international capital and elevate its global reach amid increasing competition from other battery manufacturers such as LG Energy Solution and Panasonic. The battery maker supplies some of the world's biggest automakers — including Tesla (TSLA), Volkswagen (VWAGY), Ford (F), Toyota (TM), and Mercedes-Benz (MBGYY) — and accounts for more than one-third of all EV batteries sold worldwide. The company has solidified its role at the heart of the EV revolution, powering everything from electric sedans to trucks and buses. In the first quarter of 2025, CATL reported a 30% increase in net profit, driven by the continued surge in global demand for electric vehicles and energy storage solutions. With the demand for EVs exploding globally, CATL is playing a critical role in the transition to a more sustainable automotive industry. But despite its credentials, CATL's IPO came amid increasing geopolitical tensions. The company has faced challenges linked to its Chinese roots, including trade barriers from the U.S.-China trade war, auto tariffs, and fears of a slowdown in China's economy. Tensions escalated to the point where, in January, the U.S. Department of Defense added CATL to a list of companies allegedly tied to the Chinese military — a claim CATL vehemently denies, calling it a 'false designation.' As a result of the tensions, CATL banned U.S. onshore investors from its Hong Kong stock sale. Meanwhile, last month, CATL reaffirmed its position as the leading battery supplier in the rapidly growing EV market. The company revealed that it's working on a game-changing battery that promises to be lighter, more affordable, faster to recharge, and more resilient to cold temperatures — all while delivering greater driving range. In its quest to remain at the forefront of EV innovation, CATL is also expanding its global footprint. With more than 100,000 employees and 13 production plants worldwide, the company continues to scale operations to meet surging demand for electric vehicles. It also has six research and development centers around the globe. Recently, CATL also unveiled energy storage systems, meaning the company is targeting not just the automotive industry but also large-scale energy storage solutions for grids, setting it up as a potential major player in the renewable energy market.
