On May 26, two industry giants in Changzhou, Ninebot and CALB, signed a strategic cooperation agreement on the innovative applications of high-performance lithium batteries in micro-mobility fields. Wang Ye, CEO of Ninebot; and Liu Jingyu, President of CALB, attended the signing ceremony.

As market leaders in their respective industries, both companies are headquartered (or have their production headquarters) in Changzhou, making them flagship enterprises and key players in the city's new energy sector. The strategic partnership will focus on leveraging high-performance lithium batteries for short-distance mobility applications, with the goal of advancing electric two-wheelers in terms of safety improvements, extended range, and fast-charging capabilities. The collaboration aims to establish a new model centered on user value and driven by technological innovation, thereby injecting fresh momentum into the high-quality development of the electric two-wheeler industry.

Ninebot is based in Beijing, but its R&D and production facility in Changzhou CND stands as the largest base in the world for intelligent short-distance mobility products. Over the past decade since setting up operations in Changzhou, the company has taken full advantage of the city's industrial ecosystem and regional strengths to establish its production headquarters, creating a mutually beneficial partnership with the local economy. To date, the Changzhou base has undergone three phases of cumulative investment. When the third-phase Smart Mobility Ecosystem Chain project begins production, it will bring an additional annual capacity of 3 million high-end electric vehicles and 5 million sets of components and accessories.

CALB, headquartered in Jintan District and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2022, is a leading player in the global EV battery and energy storage system markets. The company's product offerings span passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, energy storage, marine applications, and aircraft — achieving full coverage across land, sea, and air. To date, three phases of the CALB Changzhou base have been completed, and construction of the fourth phase is currently being accelerated. With a planned design capacity of 25 GWh, the fourth phase will enable CALB to speed up its push to capture the next-generation EV battery market space.
