Overview
- CATL’s chassis unit CAIT and Turkish EV maker Togg signed a strategic co‑development pact that marks Bedrock’s first passenger‑car project outside China.
- The companies will engineer a platform for three small B‑segment models, with the first slated for series production in 2027 for Turkey and Europe.
- CAIT provides the Bedrock technology and engineering know‑how, while Togg sets product requirements, designs the user experience, and leads the vehicle’s digital architecture.
- Bedrock is a skateboard chassis that integrates the battery, electric drive, thermal system, and a control computer into the load‑bearing frame to speed development and save space, and CATL also touts crash protection that remains its own claim.
- The partnership applies CAIT’s “1+1+1” localization model to link a common chassis tech base with a regional supply chain and a local brand, following Bedrock reaching series maturity in China in 2024.
