Dongfeng Fukang ES600 becomes the third model to embrace CATL’s modular battery swap solution EVOGO

Recently, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile Co., Ltd. (DPCA) and Contemporary Amperex Energy Service Technology Ltd. (CAES) signed a cooperation framework agreement on an EVOGO battery swap project. According to the agreement, the three parties will jointly apply the EVOGO modular battery swap solution to the model Dongfeng Fukang ES600 on the basis of vehicle-battery separation. At present, the Dongfeng Fukang ES600 sedans equipped with the EVOGO modular battery swap solution are undergoing a series of compatibility tests and expected to be sold to ride-hailing companies in November this year, marking that Dongfeng Fukang ES600 will soon become the third vehicle model to join the EVOGO family. CAES, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CATL, will run the project.
