This growth was mainly driven by two factors:

Firstly, in the energy storage battery segment, the continuous improvement in cost-effectiveness and stable production of additional capacity met the surging demand in the energy storage market, resulting in substantial revenue growth.

Secondly, in the power battery segment, the increased production capacity for passenger vehicle battery cells and the successful expansion into new customer markets contributed to a substantial revenue increase.
