On September 8, 2025, the Ningde Times Rock Chassis was unveiled at the 2025 Munich International Auto and Smart Travel Expo (IAA MOBILITY), which was the first time that the product was unveiled in the European market. This exhibition provided global partners with the opportunity to get a close understanding of the Ningde Times Rock Chassis. The partners from Germany, France, Italy, Türkiye and other countries on the scene had close communication with the Ningde Times Rock Chassis team.

Innovate global cooperation models and deeply cultivate localized services

The core design concept of Ningde Times Panshi chassis is to create a highly integrated "intelligent mobile base" by decoupling the upper and lower body of the chassis. At present, CATL Panshi Chassis has planned three platforms: large, medium, and small, covering the full range of vehicle sizes for intelligent new travel for passenger cars. At the same time, it is matched with rich technical solutions, such as CATL's full range of battery technology solutions, distributed electric drive technology solutions, and full line control technology solutions. Partners can choose the most suitable chassis platform and technical solution as the development basis based on target markets, vehicle positioning, and performance requirements.

Facing the maturity of industrial chains and the development of different new energy vehicle brands in different regions around the world, CATL Panshi Chassis will provide chassis technology product services to partners through the "1+1+1" localization cooperation model, which empowers partners to quickly launch vehicle models with market competitiveness through "one chassis technology platform, one research and development link, and one local brand operation system", significantly reducing investment barriers and achieving high-quality product launches.

Continuously tackling technological challenges, empowering global green travel with high safety, high efficiency, and high intelligence bases

At the IAA site, the excellent safety performance of the Ningde Times Panshi chassis became one of the focuses of attention.

It continues the technological accumulation of CATL in the field of battery safety, and has built a safety protection system from battery cells to high-voltage systems, and then to chassis systems, which can meet the safety performance requirements of multiple markets including Europe and North America for electric vehicles.

The decoupling and parallel development of the upper and lower body is another important feature of the Ningde Times Panshi chassis. This design separates the chassis platform (including three electric systems, suspension, braking, and steering) from the upper body (shape, space, interior), providing partners with higher research and development flexibility and efficiency. Its highly innovative product architecture design and flexible business cooperation model may trigger a new wave of new energy technology.

As of 2025, CATL Panshi Chassis has established cooperation with Chinese new energy vehicle brands such as Avita, BAIC, Jianghuai, and is closely promoting related cooperation with international automotive brands in Europe and Southeast Asia; At the same time, strategic cooperation has been reached with companies such as T3 Travel and Ant Group, which are all part of the smart travel platform, to further explore the optimal operational strategy for Robotaxi throughout its entire lifecycle and jointly promote the innovative development of Robotaxi.
