On August 27, Thalys and CATL completed the signing of a deepening strategic cooperation agreement. Zhang Xinghai, chairman (founder) of Thalys Group, and Zeng Yuqun, chairman and founder of CATL, attended to witness the signing. According to the agreement, in the next five years, AITO Wenjie series models will be fully equipped with CATL power batteries. At the same time, new Wenjie series models will be fully equipped with Kirin batteries.
Zhang Xinghai said that this signing has far-reaching significance for the future development of Cyrus, "CATL is the world's leading innovative technology company, and its technological innovation and large-scale mass production experience are obvious to all. I believe that with the new core of Cyrus With energy technology, excellent intelligent manufacturing capabilities, Huawei’s leading technology in the ICT industry, and CATL Kirin batteries, the new models of the AITO World Series will bring a different travel experience to users.”
Zeng Yuqun said: "The signing of this deepening strategic cooperation agreement demonstrates CATL's determination to use leading power battery technology to help partners build global high-end automobile brands. It also reflects that we work together to win the era of smart electric vehicles. ”
CATL previously officially released the Kirin battery on June 23. This battery pack applies third-generation CTP technology. Under the same chemical system and the same battery pack size, the power of the Kirin battery pack can be increased by 10% compared to the Tesla 4680 system.
Through continuous technological iteration, CATL has launched the third generation of CTP technology, which eliminates the original independent designs of horizontal and longitudinal beams, water-cooled panels, and thermal insulation pads and integrates them into a multi-functional elastic sandwich. The volume utilization rate reaches 72%, and the energy density reaches 255wh/kg,Under the same chemical system and the same battery pack size, the power of the Kirin battery pack is 13% higher than that of the Tesla 4680 battery. Models equipped with Kirin batteries have a cruising range of more than 1,000km.
In terms of safety, an integrated energy unit composed of battery cores and multi-functional elastic interlayers builds a more stable force-bearing structure perpendicular to the driving direction. ,Improve the structural strength and impact resistance of the battery pack, so that the safety of new energy vehicles can be greatly improved, and the safety of life and property can be protected to the greatest extent.
In addition, Kirin battery also uses large-surface cooling technology to expand the heat exchange area 4 times, shorten the battery core temperature control time to half of the original, the hot start time only takes 5 minutes, and the fast charge to 80% only takes 10 minutes. In addition, In extreme situations, the battery core can cool down rapidly, effectively blocking abnormal heat conduction between the battery cores and effectively avoiding irreversible damage caused by abnormal battery operating temperatures. damage.
According to the "Hot List" data of Bitauto App, Thalys has an average daily attention of 22,900, ranking 32nd among new energy brands. If you need more data, please check it out on Bitauto App.
