CATL and Seres signed a long-term cooperation agreement in Chongqing on October 10. CATL said Aito will keep using its batteries across the lineup, with cumulative Aito deliveries above 1.2 million vehicles, and that the partners will accelerate a second plant-in-plant phase at the Seres factory rated 10-12 GWh a year so combined phases would exceed 20 GWh. They also plan supercharging and battery services plus joint sales in Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. Agreement length and the phase-2 start date were not disclosed.
