Charged EVs | CATL to supply Chinese steelmaker with batteries and charging stations for electric mining trucks and machinery
Chinese battery giant CATL has agreed to supply steel producer Jianlong with batteries and integrated charging and swapping solutions for its industrial parks, steel plants, mines and other facilities.
The agreement covers Jianlong’s full range of equipment, including electric mining trucks, heavy trucks, ships and construction machinery. The companies aim to deploy more than 3,000 electric heavy trucks over the next five years, complete battery swapping infrastructure along at least 16 logistics hub routes, and build and operate 100 battery swapping stations.
The companies will also deploy centralized and distributed wind and solar power projects and use Jianlong’s industrial parks as pilot projects for the electrification of energy-intensive industries, from mining to transportation and from energy to materials, CATL said.
