CATL Launches Shenxing Pro: A Game-Changer for Electric Mobility in Europe

At the IAA Mobility 2025 event, CATL unveiled its groundbreaking Shenxing Pro battery, touted as the world's first lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery capable of maintaining consistently high voltage and stable performance without the risk of fire or smoke during thermal runaway. Designed specifically to address the needs of the European e-mobility market, the Shenxing Pro sets new benchmarks in safety, longevity, range, and ultra-fast charging capability, making it an ideal solution for the rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) sector in Europe.

Addressing Challenges in the European EV Market

The demand for electric vehicles in Europe is surging at an unprecedented rate. According to SNE and MarkLines, EV penetration in Europe rose from 23% to 26% in the first half of 2025, with projections indicating it could reach up to 29% by the year-end. The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects EV sales in Europe to hit 4 million units this year, a considerable increase from 3.2 million in 2024.

Despite this encouraging growth, consumer concerns remain. A survey by McKinsey titled "Consumer Mobility Pulse" highlights several persistent barriers, including high costs, battery life, limited range, charging infrastructure gaps, and battery safety. The Shenxing Pro directly addresses these obstacles, offering exceptional performance and safety tailored to the diverse needs of European drivers.

Revolutionizing E-Mobility with Innovative Battery Technology

The Shenxing Pro, equipped with CATL's proprietary NP 3.0 technology, represents a significant advancement in battery innovation. It offers two variants: 1) Super Long Life Long Range Battery, which is the first LFP battery globally to achieve a WLTP range of 758 km and a remarkable lifespan of 12 years or 1,000,000 km. With only 9% degradation after the first 200,000 km, it is perfectly designed to cater to Europe's leasing markets. 2) Super-Fast Charging Battery, which provides a WLTP range of 478 km with just 10 minutes of charging—equivalent to a rate of 0.8 km per second—making it the fastest charging LFP battery in Europe. It boasts an output of 830 kW and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, even at a 20% state of charge (SOC). Remarkably, it maintains exceptional performance even in extreme cold conditions, offering a range of 410 km after just 20 minutes of charging at -20 °C. Both variants include a warranty of up to 10 years or 240,000 km, thus redefining the standards for super-fast charging durability.

The proprietary NP 3.0 technology represents the pinnacle of CATL's seven years of safety innovation in fault propagation prevention, granting continuous high-voltage power for over an hour post-thermal runaway. This ensures drivers can and safely maneuver their vehicles away from danger zones, effectively preventing flames and smoke. With the advent of L3 and L4 autonomous driving technologies shifting more accident liabilities to vehicle systems, the Shenxing Pro guarantees ongoing power and system continuity in emergencies, meeting the heightened safety requirements of the modern era.

Enhancing the European E-Mobility Ecosystem

In its commitment to becoming a key player in the European market, CATL is shifting from simply exporting batteries to producing them within Europe for Europe. With over €11 billion invested in European operations, the company has created thousands of jobs and has collaborated with local universities and institutions to cultivate talent.

CATL partners with over 200 automotive manufacturers globally, including longstanding European partners and more than 1,000 European suppliers. By integrating cutting-edge battery technologies into electric vehicles, CATL fosters innovation that benefits the entire ecosystem.

According to Tan Libin, Senior Vice President of Global Business at CATL, "Combining our advanced capabilities with the long-standing expertise of the European automotive sector, we strive to surpass the 'made in Europe for Europe' approach and ultimately build a greener, smarter, and more prosperous EV ecosystem, encompassing material manufacturing, production, recycling, and beyond."

A Shared Vision for Sustainable Mobility

The launch of the Shenxing Pro reinforces CATL's long-term commitment to a sustainable future for mobility in Europe. Harnessing extensive global expertise, CATL powers over 20 million electric vehicles across more than 300 billion kilometers, driving innovation in safety, performance, and sustainability. Through its deepening European footprint, CATL aims to create a future-ready ecosystem and collaborate with regional automotive partners to ensure a safe, reliable, and sustainable electrification process.

In conclusion, Shenxing Pro seamlessly connects world-class safety standards with mobility needs, offering a more secure, efficient, and worry-free experience on every journey. With unparalleled range, charging speed, and durability, Shenxing Pro stands out as the optimal solution for electric mobility in Europe.
