Gotion High-Tech and Volkswagen have jointly developed the first generation of NCM and LFP Unified Cell, and Gotion has been nominated as qualified supplier for mass production.

At the ongoing technology conference, Gotion High-Tech is about to launch two all-new battery products. One is a next-generation battery with super-high specific density, and the other will be the company's first product targeting the general public.

The battery maker had already achieved industrialization for its 210Wh/g LFP battery and would put the 230Wh/g LFP battery into mass production at the end of the year, Li Zhen, Chairman and CEO of the company, said in March at the China EV100 Forum 2022.
