China launches first battery-swap truck network with 120-second recharge system

CATL and logistics partner DST launched China’s first standardized battery-swap network for light trucks in urban logistics.

The 120-second Choco-swap system is being rolled out in the Greater Bay Area, with stations set to grow from 31 to 140 this year.

CATL aims to support 5,000 swap-enabled trucks in the region by the end of 2026.

The company also plans to extend battery swapping to passenger cars, heavy trucks, and taxis.
