CATL Qiji Energy chassis battery-swap platform #75 Choco-SEB

NOT A VEHICLE - this record describes the dominant Chinese heavy-truck battery-swap platform, included because battery swap is the defining structural difference between the Chinese and European heavy e-truck markets and because no single truck record can carry the story. An editor may want to render it differently from the vehicle records. Qiji Energy launched 12 June 2023 as the world's first all-in-one heavy-truck chassis battery-swap solution; the standardised #75 block followed in May 2024. Chemistry is third-generation LFP with CTP assembly and thermal-runaway prevention, rated for over 15,000 cycles. Scale: roughly 300 Qiji stations by end-2025 with 900 planned within the following year; CATL has launched 30+ swap-enabled heavy-truck models with more than a dozen vehicle manufacturers; the longest trunk line runs 1,250 km one-way from Chengdu to Wuhan. CATL also bought 24.87 % of Qiyuan Green Power for CNY 2.56 billion (about EUR 330 M), making it China's largest heavy-truck swap operator - Qiyuan uses a different, rear-mounted standard with ~1,600 stations in 208 cities and mostly serves mines, ports, steelworks and construction sites. THREE incompatible swap standards coexist in China. Market context: nearly 30,000 swappable-battery heavy trucks were registered in China in 2024; 231,100 new-energy heavy trucks were registered in 2025 (+182 %, 29 % share), and in December 2025 electric trucks outsold diesel in China for the first time at 45,300 units and 54 % share.
