Aistaland, the brand jointly created by GAC Group (HKEX: 2238) and Huawei, is reportedly planning new battery swap models, making it the latest brand to surface under the battery swap partnership between Huawei's automotive business and CATL (HKEX: 3750).
Lanjinger reported on Wednesday, citing a person familiar with the matter, that Aistaland already has battery swap models in its plans. "Given the depth of the collaboration between Aistaland and Huawei Qiankun, it will certainly be the first to land," the person said.
The report did not disclose the number of battery swap models, their launch timing or the battery specifications they would use.
The news comes just 2 days after Huawei's Newcool (also known as Yinwang) and CATL announced their battery swap partnership. On October 19, Newcool, CATL and Contemporary Amperex Energy Service Technology (CAES), CATL's battery swap operating arm, signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement under which Newcool formally joined the Choco swap ecosystem.
Under the agreement, Newcool will work with strategic partners to adapt and connect partner models equipped with Huawei Qiankun intelligent vehicle solutions to the Choco swap network. The agreement itself did not list specific models or launch timelines.
Several media outlets have since disclosed product details, though their accounts differ. LatePost reported on Tuesday that the first batch of partner models is tentatively set at 5, with launches planned for 2027.
Cailian reported earlier the same day that the first partner model is scheduled for launch in 2027 and will debut under Epicland , the brand jointly created by Dongfeng and Huawei.
