On October 20, 2026, CATL launched its Tianxing II heavy-truck solutions and the Qiji battery-swapping ecosystem in Beijing. The centerpiece is a new “dual-electric range extension” architecture. On the same day, the company secured orders covering 13,000 units from logistics operators including China Post, SF Holding, and STO Express. Industry observers see the move as a signal that heavy-truck electrification is shifting from an “oil-versus-electric” contest into an “electric-versus-electric” competition. The concept is straightforward. The conventional chassis-mounted swappable battery system

CATL used All Energy Australia 2026 to launch two major energy storage products and sign new partnerships. The company globally introduced TENER+, a 9 MWh ultra-high-capacity lithium-ion energy storage system. The design reduces the number of containers required by up to 40% and shrinks project footprint by about 12%, addressing land-constraint issues for large-scale projects. Alongside it, CATL showcased TENER Sodium, described as the world’s first mass-produced and field-validated sodium-ion battery energy storage system. It can deliver more than 30

Electric boat rental fleets are expanding rapidly in harbors, lakes, and coastal resorts as operators seek quieter, cleaner, and lower-maintenance alternatives to traditional gasoline engines. Success in this sector depends heavily on precise battery sizing for electric boat rental fleets. Undersized packs lead to range anxiety and stranded customers, while oversized systems inflate capital costs and reduce payload. Fleet managers must carefully balance route length, daily utilization, charging windows, and total cost of ownership to deliver reliable service and healthy
