CATL has unveiled a new battery that boasts an impressive lifespan of 15 years or an astonishing 1.5 million kilometers of range. Specifically designed for electric buses, it is called the CATL Tectrans Bus Edition.
The new battery also features the highest energy density in the industry at 175 Wh/kg. This means that buses can travel further on a single charge, enhancing their efficiency and practicality. The Tectrans Bus Edition comes with a warranty of 10 years or 1 million kilometers of range.
The new battery has been engineered to withstand harsh daily bus workloads. It has an IP69 rating, ensuring complete dust protection and the capability to endure high-pressure water jets and high temperatures. In fact, the battery can withstand immersion in water for up to 72 hours, making it extremely resilient in challenging weather conditions.
CATL announced that the Tectrans Bus Edition will soon enter mass production. The company has already partnered with 13 vehicle manufacturers, including major players like Yutong Bus, Golden Dragon, and Dongfeng Motor. The new battery is set to be used in 80 different bus models.
Currently, CATL holds a 37.6% share of the global automotive battery market. The company is aggressively expanding its presence in the commercial vehicle battery market, and the Tectrans Bus Edition represents another step in this direction.
