Zelos EVE Energy Strategic Cooperation Targets Autonomy

Strategic Cooperation Covers Autonomous Mobility and Energy

The Zelos EVE Energy strategic cooperation agreement expands collaboration across intelligent driving, logistics and delivery, mobile energy, and new energy applications for commercial vehicles. Zelos (Suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. and EVE Energy Co., Ltd. signed the agreement in Huizhou, Guangdong, establishing a framework for joint work on technologies and vehicle applications. The cooperation brings together Zelos's independently developed full-stack L4 automated driving capabilities with EVE Energy's full-stack battery solutions, which extend from battery cell manufacturing through system integration. The companies will focus their cooperation on two projects involving autonomous mobile charging and autonomous logistics vehicles for cold-region operations.

200 kWh Autonomous Mobile Charging Vehicle Project

For the 200 kWh autonomous mobile charging vehicle project, Zelos (Suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. and EVE Energy will jointly conduct vehicle integration and validation. The work will cover various operating conditions, allowing the companies to evaluate how the integrated vehicle and energy technologies perform across different use scenarios. The project combines autonomous driving capabilities with mobile charging functionality, reflecting the broader cooperation focus on intelligent driving and mobile energy. Joint integration and validation are intended to establish the operating performance of the 200 kWh vehicle configuration before broader application of the technology.

Cold-Region Autonomous Logistics Vehicle Development

The second project focuses on an autonomous logistics vehicle designed for cold-region applications. Under the agreement, EVE Energy Co., Ltd. and Zelos will jointly develop a lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) battery system intended to address operational challenges in extremely cold environments. The battery system is therefore a central part of the project's development work, with the cooperation targeting conditions that can affect vehicle operation in low temperatures. By combining battery-system development with autonomous logistics vehicle technology, the companies are addressing both energy-system requirements and automated vehicle applications within a defined commercial-use scenario.

Complementary Technology Capabilities Support Cooperation

Zelos (Suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. has independently developed a full stack of core L4 automated driving technologies, providing the autonomous-driving foundation for the projects covered by the agreement. EVE Energy contributes full-stack capabilities spanning battery cell manufacturing through system integration, giving the cooperation access to battery technologies and system-level integration expertise. These capabilities are complementary within the announced projects: Zelos contributes automated-driving technology, while EVE Energy provides battery and energy-system capabilities. The agreement consequently establishes a combined development approach for autonomous charging and logistics applications involving commercial vehicles.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The cooperation connects L4 automated driving with battery and energy-system development in applications where vehicle autonomy and energy availability are closely linked. The 200 kWh mobile charging project could support further integration of autonomous operation with mobile energy services, while the cold-region logistics project addresses battery-system performance requirements associated with extremely low temperatures. For commercial-vehicle applications, the practical significance lies in combining vehicle integration, validation, autonomous driving, and battery-system development within defined operating environments. The next stage will center on joint development and validation of the two projects, with results from those activities determining how the technologies progress toward their intended applications.
