• CATL will carry out global strategic cooperation with Ford, covering the supply of power batteries in North America, Europe and China.

• The two parties will jointly explore new business opportunities on a global scale and jointly promote the development of global electric vehicles.
  

• According to a separate agreement signed by both parties, CATL will supply lithium iron phosphate battery packs for the Ford Mustang Mach-E in North America from next year, and supply lithium iron phosphate for the Ford F-150 Lightning in North America from early 2024 Battery packs will further increase Ford's production capacity for hot-selling electric vehicles.
  

On July 21, CATL New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ("CATL") and Ford Motor Company ("Ford") announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to establish a global strategic partnership, covering China, Europe and North America. power battery supply.

According to a separate agreement signed by the two parties, CATL will also supply lithium iron phosphate battery packs for Ford Mustang Mach-E models in North America from next year, and for Ford pure electric pickup F-150 Lightning in North America from early 2024 Supplied with lithium iron phosphate battery pack. Thanks to the excellent characteristics of the lithium iron phosphate battery system of CATL in terms of battery life and thermal stability, the above-mentioned Ford models will have excellent performance in environmental adaptability.

CTP technology is a technology that integrates the cells directly into the battery pack, which simplifies the manufacturing process and saves costs while improving the energy density of the battery pack system. The flexibility of Ford's electric vehicle architecture can efficiently integrate CATL's CTP technology to rapidly increase production capacity and meet customer needs.

The two parties will give full play to their respective advantages and jointly explore new business opportunities on a global scale. In addition to providing Ford with lithium iron phosphate batteries based on CTP technology, CATL will also actively cooperate with Ford in other battery technologies.

This global strategic cooperation aims to open up new market opportunities for both parties, promote the sustainable development of the new energy industry and the popularization of electric vehicles, and jointly contribute to the realization of the global carbon neutrality goal.

• 宁德时代将与福特开展全球战略合作，涵盖北美、欧洲及中国的动力电池供应。

• 双方将在全球范围携手探索新的商业机会，共同推动全球电动汽车发展。
