CATL's New Energy Hub in Riyadh: A Game-Changer for Sustainability

On January 10, 2026, the Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) opened its NING SERVICE Experience Center in Riyadh, a major milestone of the new energy aftermarket in the Middle East and the largest facility of its type outside of China. This launch not only solidifies CATL's presence in the Middle East but also aligns with the region’s ambitious goals for a cleaner and more sustainable energy infrastructure, particularly under Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative.

A Hub for Transformation

This state-of-the-art facility encompasses over 7,000 square meters, combining exhibition areas, diagnostic and maintenance zones, refurbishment spaces, and training facilities. It seeks to offer comprehensive full-lifecycle after-sales support while fostering local talent development in the electrification and energy storage sectors.

The NING SERVICE Center is part of a concerted effort to promote electrification across Saudi Arabia, which aims to transition 30% of vehicles to electric by 2030. The center integrates various stakeholders to drive industrial synergy and sustainable growth, ultimately enhancing the region’s economic footprint and aligning it with global trends for greener energy solutions.

Comprehensive After-Sales Support Services

The center offers an extensive array of services designed to cater to various product categories, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and energy storage systems. This spans battery diagnostics, repair, maintenance, rework, and recycling. CATL’s advanced diagnostics capabilities ensure businesses can minimize downtime and maintenance costs while extending the lifespan of their assets with greater certainty around performance and residual value.

Local enterprises benefit from CATL’s localized operations and capability-building initiatives. The training facilities aim to equip individuals in the new energy sector with vital skills, creating job opportunities and enhancing knowledge transfer within the industry. CATL has already certified over 9,700 professionals globally through partnerships with vocational institutions.

Collaborating for a Sustainable Future

CATL emphasizes strategic partnerships to accelerate the adoption of new energy solutions. The company is actively discussing collaborations with local industry players to enable the swift deployment of green electricity at gas stations and electrify transport fleets, thereby reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.

As Ahmed Ibrahim, Assistant General Manager for Procurement of Al Drees, a leading petroleum and logistics provider in Saudi Arabia, stated, this collaboration signifies a shared commitment to energy transformation. The NING SERVICE Experience Center is viewed as a catalyst for achieving sustainable solutions in the Kingdom.

A Global Network of Services

The Riyadh facility expands CATL's already extensive service network, which includes over 1,200 professional service stations across 76 countries, ensuring that customers receive genuine parts and reliable services worldwide. The company's global infrastructure, including 73 spare-parts warehouses, is designed to support the ever-growing need for efficient after-sales services in the electrification sector.

Looking Ahead

Bruce Li, President of Quality System, Aftermarket Business, Battery Management System Department at CATL, articulated the significance of this opening in Riyadh. Beyond business dimensions, it represents a long-term commitment to the region, establishing a pivotal hub in the new energy aftermarket ecosystem.

As the Middle East accelerates its transition to electrification and sustainable energy practices, CATL's expanded presence through the NING SERVICE Center is set to play a crucial role in supporting this transformation. This initiative not only aligns with local objectives but reflects a comprehensive understanding of the diverse needs within the region's energy landscape. As CATL continues to enhance its service network and strategic partnerships, it remains committed to fostering a cleaner, greener future for generations to come.
