Quick Takeaways
- Dongfeng accelerates solid-state battery commercialization with a 350 Wh/kg pilot line in Wuhan
- Yuechuang Technology’s new headquarters deepens WEDZ’s role as an EV battery manufacturing hub
On December 18, Dongfeng solid-state battery development took a significant step forward as Dongfeng Motor Corporation announced a new cooperation agreement supporting advanced battery manufacturing in China. The agreement enables Yuechuang Technology Co., Ltd. to establish its headquarters within the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone, reinforcing the region’s role in next-generation energy storage and automotive innovation.
Dongfeng solid-state battery pilot production begins in Wuhan
The newly established Yuechuang Technology headquarters covers approximately 2,000 square meters and now hosts a pilot production line focused on high-specific-energy solid-state batteries. The facility has already put into operation a line capable of producing batteries with an energy density of 350 Wh/kg, marking a key milestone in solid-state battery commercialization for automotive applications.
High energy density manufacturing supports EV technology roadmap
The Dongfeng solid-state battery initiative aligns with broader industry efforts to improve driving range, safety, and energy efficiency in electric vehicles. Solid-state batteries are viewed as a critical enabler for next-generation EV platforms due to their higher energy density and improved thermal stability compared to conventional lithium-ion systems.
Key highlights of the project include:
Economic impact of Dongfeng solid-state battery operations
Since 2025, Yuechuang Technology has generated an estimated output value of CNY 36 billion, with nearly CNY 20 billion attributed to operations within the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone. This reflects the growing economic contribution of advanced battery manufacturing to regional industrial development.
Expanded cooperation across automotive technology domains
On the same day as the headquarters announcement, multiple Yuechuang Technology business divisions entered cooperation agreements with the development zone. These agreements span several core automotive technology areas, supporting a more integrated mobility ecosystem.
The cooperation covers:
By combining advanced battery production with system-level automotive technologies, the Dongfeng solid-state battery expansion strengthens China’s position in high-value electric vehicle supply chains while accelerating the transition toward next-generation mobility solutions.
