Huawei's Newcool and CATL plan initial batch of 5 battery swap models for 2027, report says

Huawei's automotive technology company Yinwang, or Newcool, and CATL (HKEX: 3750) have tentatively set an initial lineup of 5 battery swap models for launch in 2027, according to a media report.

Newcool, CATL and the battery maker's battery swap operator are developing the vehicles, LatePost reported on Tuesday, offering further details on the initial scope of their partnership.

Newcool reiterated the core provisions of the 3 parties' strategic cooperation agreement to the outlet but declined to comment on the model count or launch plans. Those details have yet to be officially confirmed.

Cailian reported earlier today that the first model would come from Epicland, a brand jointly developed by Dongfeng and Huawei, with a launch planned for 2027. The specific model has not been disclosed.

The 2 reports add details on the product lineup and timeline to the newly announced battery swap partnership. The strategic cooperation framework agreement announced on October 19 did not identify specific models or launch dates.

Under the agreement, Newcool is joining CATL's Choco swap ecosystem to help adapt partner models using Huawei's Qiankun intelligent automotive solutions for compatibility with the battery swap network.

The partnership also includes Contemporary Amperex Energy Service Technology (CAES), CATL's battery swap operator.

The 3 parties plan to integrate data and services across vehicles, battery swap stations and cloud systems, using real-time battery conditions and users' travel patterns to anticipate energy needs and proactively arrange battery swaps.

Under the plan outlined in the earlier statement, vehicles would autonomously locate and enter stations, position themselves for a fully automated 99-second battery swap, and then drive away.
