CATL has introduced the Tectrans II battery platform, enabling heavy-duty trucks to travel up to 1,000 km on a single charge.
This technology features an energy density of 170 Wh/kg. It supports megawatt-level charging, which brings the battery from 0 to 80% capacity in just 25 minutes. CATL showcased the platform at the IAA Transportation event to demonstrate how electric power can manage long-haul freight.
The system is designed to replace traditional diesel power in heavy-duty commercial transport.
This platform offers a range and speed that finally challenges the diesel engines that have dominated long-distance trucking for decades. Testing and implementation will now focus on integrating this power density into standard heavy commercial vehicle chassis.
