"The “integrated intelligent skateboard chassis” can reduce EVs’ “purchasing cost and energy consumption while maximizing cabin space,” CATL said, without divulging further details about the chassis.
Under a memorandum of understanding signed this week, CATL also said it will “explore various forms of cooperation” on the chassis.
CATL is also using the cell-to-pack technology to supply batteries to VinFast.
By bypassing modules to directly integrate cells into packs, the technology can improve the battery system’s energy density, simplify manufacturing and save costs, according to the Chinese supplier."
