Overview

  • The company introduced the Shenxing Pro family in Munich, presenting an LFP platform built on its NP3.0 No Propagation safety system.
  • CATL claims the Super Long Life & Long Range variant targets up to 758 km WLTP and up to 12 years or 1 million km of life with about 9% capacity loss in the first 200,000 km.
  • The Super‑Fast Charging variant is touted to add up to 478 km in 10 minutes and to deliver about 410 km in 20 minutes at −20 °C.
  • NP3.0 is described as maintaining voltage for one hour during a thermal runaway without smoke or open flames, aiming to contain cell failures.
  • CATL highlights Cell‑to‑Body integration and a wave cell design for structural efficiency and flexible cooling, and says the packs are market‑ready with plans for expanded European production and recycling partnerships.
