U Power And Velo Labs Team Up To Create Battery Bank Trading And Funding Platform

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga U Power Limited (NASDAQ: UCAR), the Chinese EV power solution company that offers a proprietary battery-swapping technology, is setting out to further electrify the market via a deal with Velo Labs Technology Ltd., a global fintech company. The two have entered into a memorandum of understanding to establish a battery infrastructure investment ecosystem in Thailand. The idea is to create a battery bank asset and fund trading platform based on Velo's blockchain technology. Through the platform U Power and Velo Labs hope to attract external funding to promote the large-scale development of the battery bank industry. A battery bank is a collection of batteries that are connected and store energy together. For EVs, the idea of the industry is to create battery bank stations around the country where drivers quickly swap out dead batteries for new ones. The trading platform would integrate battery assets from various "UOTTA" battery bank scenarios, including batteries for four-wheel and two-wheel electric vehicles, batteries from various battery swap stations and batteries used in energy storage projects. "Our partnership with Velo Labs demonstrates that as electric vehicles and other green applications develop on a large scale, battery banks will become increasingly important,” said Jia Li, Chairman and CEO of U Power, when announcing the deal. “Once the value system and trading model for battery assets are established, more investors will be attracted to enter this vast market in the future. Our UOTTA battery swap business serves as an ideal carrier for this model and will generate consistent returns for our shareholders." U Power’s Edge With U Power’s advanced technology, consumers and fleet operators can replace dead EV batteries with fully charged ones in under five minutes. That removes the time challenges, and with swapping stations eventually located throughout China, it eliminates the fear of running out of battery life. As of March 2023, U Power had a vehicle sourcing network of about 100 wholesalers and 30 dealers across China’s lower-tier cities. Last year, it sold and delivered six battery-swapping stations to four customers. All told, it has already sold eleven battery-swapping stations. As part of the collaboration between U Power and Velo Labs, the two will manage the entire lifecycle of battery assets, including battery cascade utilization, dismantling and environmentally friendly disposal and comprehensively improving battery utilization rates and residual value, U Power says. Velo Labs is a fintech based in the British Virgin Islands. It was co-founded in 2018 by Chatchaval Jiaravanon, a member of the Charoen Pokphand Group, which is Thailand's largest conglomerate. Velo Labs aims to create a trustless financial infrastructure that supports cryptocurrency payments and smart contracts, making financial transactions cheaper, faster and more accessible. Battery Swapping Trending U Power and Velo Labs collaboration comes at a time when battery swapping could be set to grow in China as the country embraces EVs as a way to fight global warming. The market size for battery swapping and electric commercial vehicles is projected to reach RMB 176,615.1 million in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 68.1% from now until then, according to a report by Frost & Sullivan cited by U Power. U Power is aiming to capitalize on it by forging partnerships and innovating in the market. In addition to its deal with Velo Labs, U Power counts Dutch electric vehicle company UNEX as well as Cornerstone Technologies Holdings Limited as partners. The EV market seems to be poised for growth as the world looks for greener alternatives, and trading the energy being collected and stored could emerge as a key trend. U Power and Velo Labs are banking on that with this collaboration. Featured photo by israel palacio on Unsplash.

Aeva Enables Customers To Go Where They Have Never Gone Before – Looking Into Automated Vehicles And Network Effects From An Expanding List Of Customers

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Keep a look out for more Aeva Technologies Inc. announcements here. From self-driving trucks that can safely achieve highway speeds to autonomous vehicles that can easily navigate cities, Aeva Technologies Inc.’s (NYSE: AEVA) Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D LiDAR technology is breaking barriers, enabling its growing customer base to go where they have never gone before. Aeva’s advanced LiDAR technology uses a low-power continuous laser beam to measure range and velocity simultaneously, which it says unlocks new levels of safety and automation by instantaneously discriminating between moving and non-moving points and knowing the precise velocity of objects in motion. Instant velocity data gives real-time insight into how an object’s position changes, giving the vehicle’s computer a more accurate picture to help plan its next move. These sensors can also achieve highway speeds and do it safely. It’s something that’s eluded the industry so far, with many vehicles with automated driving functionality only achieving top speeds of 35 to 45 MPH, which is sub-optimal for highway driving. For the automotive industry to move to autonomous vehicles, it must sustain tackling city streets and importantly highway speeds safely. Reimaging Self-Driving Trucks for Safety At Scale It’s the reason Daimler Truck AG and Torc Robotics, an independent subsidiary of Daimler Truck, tapped Aeva to power its self-driving trucks of the future and enable a highway driving operational design domain (ODD). The world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer recently inked a multi-year OEM deal with Aeva with an estimated order book of $1 billion in which Daimler is using Aeva’s sensors in its Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia autonomous truck platform. These are heavy-duty trucks that spend most of their time on interstates hauling cargo to and from major logistics hubs. The industry sees heavy-duty trucking as an area rife for autonomous vehicles given the severe shortages of drivers in that segment of the market. “There’s a strong need for something that drives on interstates at high speeds of 65 miles per hour,” says Peter Vaughan Schmidt, CEO of Torc. “That’s the problem Torc is trying to solve and found a solution with Aeva.” For self-driving heavy-duty trucks to become a reality, Schmidt says they have to be ultra-precise in understanding their environment so they can react and plan ahead, and that’s what he said Aeva’s sensors enable. That, Aeva says, is achieved through things like Ultra Resolution, a real-time camera-level image that provides up to twenty times the resolution of legacy LiDAR sensors. Another key feature of Aeva’s technology is its small road hazard detection at highway speeds. Aeva says it can detect hazards twice the distance of what is possible today. All told its sensors can see 500 meters away. On top of all that, Aeva’s FMCW technology is resistant to interference from sunlight and other LiDAR sensors, including Aeva sensors, ensuring performance across a wider set of lighting conditions and when used near other LiDAR-equipped vehicles. “We are designing to scale by year 2027 and it doesn’t mean prototype trucks, it means you can go to a Freightliner dealer and buy a Cascadia Truck,” says Schmidt. Navigating City Streets Safely But Daimler Truck and Torc aren’t the only ones that are tapping Aeva’s LiDAR sensors to take their autonomous driving platforms to the next level. May Mobility, the Ann Arbor, Michigan, company which makes self-driving cars for cities around the world, is also turning to Aeva to realize its safe self-driving plans. What May Mobility says sets it apart is its focus on creating self-driving technology that can safely handle the unexpected and plan for what may happen next on a city street. That enables the vehicles to drive safely in any situation no matter how unique. To make it a reality, May Mobility, which counts Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM) as a customer, selected Aeva to be the exclusive supplier of long-range LiDAR sensors for May Mobility’s autonomous vehicles globally. The multi-year supply agreement provides five-year volume commitments through 2028, with deliveries already begun last year and production ramping in 2025. “Aeva’s long-range 4D LiDAR technology provides unique and exciting new capabilities for our autonomous stack and aligns well with our technology and commercialization roadmap,” Edwin Olson, co-founder and CEO at May Mobility, said when announcing the deal. “We’re thrilled to partner with Aeva on our mission to reimagine transportation by developing and deploying autonomous vehicles that get people where they need to go safely and easily.” More To Come For Passenger Vehicles? Earlier this week, Aeva announced that a major European Passenger OEM selected Aeva’s 4D LiDAR for its automated vehicle validation program. The OEM will leverage Aeva’s FMCW technology, with its instant velocity data, to gather real-world data, to benchmark and validate its next-generation vehicle automation and assisted driving systems. In addition, Aeva has said it is engaged and progressing on multiple ongoing production program RFQs with global top-10 passenger OEMs, suggesting more vehicle manufacturers are looking to leverage Aeva’s FMCW LiDAR for their production vehicle programs to enable new capabilities for advanced driver assistance and autonomous systems. The company has said that some of these OEMs are expected to make award decisions in the coming months. A new major passenger vehicle manufacturer adopting Aeva’s technology in its production vehicles can be a potential massive boost for the company and cement the shift in the industry to its FMCW-based perception technology that the company has been talking about. From heavy-duty trucks to robotaxis, and increasingly passenger vehicles at mass scale, Aeva is helping its customers go beyond what they imagined before, thanks to its advanced 4D LiDAR and perception software technology.

Canoo’s Oklahoma Plant Becomes First Automotive Foreign-Trade Zone In The State, Cutting Red Tape And Reducing Fees

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOEV), the high-tech advanced mobility company churning out fully electric lifestyle vehicles, just got the final nod from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for its Oklahoma City operations to become the first automotive Foreign-Trade Zone in the state. Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs) are specially designated sites close to U.S. ports that importers and exporters use to move goods in and out of the country. Companies operating in FTZs pay reduced or zero duties, taxes or fees. FTZs help U.S. companies to compete better on the global stage by streamlining logistics, minimizing regulatory hurdles and better controlling inventory. Perks offered for being In Oklahoma City’s FTZ include duty elimination on previously imported material, materials that are re-exported, rejected, scrapped, wasted or return-to-vendor imported material and sales of imported materials or finished products containing imported components to companies operating in other U.S. FTZs. Duties are deferred for manufacturing in the U.S. and selling domestically. Other perks include just-in-time delivery, quotas and reduced customs delays, as well as the ability to hold merchandise in a foreign-trade zone indefinitely. Canoo Bolsters Oklahoma Plant Canoo’s Oklahoma plant, which the company opened last April, occupies close to 500,000 square feet, with the ability to expand, and can employ over 500 people at capacity! Canoo recently added to the Oklahoma plant’s occupancy by migrating its engineering workforce from California to the state. Canoo said one of the main reasons for the move to Oklahoma is to have engineering and manufacturing under one roof. The company said the strategic decision will “drive operational efficiencies and foster greater collaboration as Canoo continues to meet goals towards its step level ramp manufacturing.” That’s becoming a reality thanks in part to its two tranches of new or like-new advanced manufacturing assets, formerly owned by Arrival Automotive UK Limited, at its facility in Oklahoma City. The received assets will bolster in-house processes and enable higher cabin line production volumes in 2025, the company said. “We thank Oklahoma City Customs Port Director Pequano and the Dallas U.S. Customs and Border Protection Area Port office for the work, support and direction for the activation approval. It's great to get this milestone completed as it's part of a larger strategy with more to come,” said Tony Aquila, Investor, Executive Chairman and CEO of Canoo. The company said the FTZ is a big deal toward “harmonizing” its supply chain and protecting it from the whims of other countries. Being in the FTZ also provides stability against a tariff landscape that has the potential to change in 2025. Reimaging Fully Electric Vehicles Canoo makes a suite of fully electric delivery vehicles (LDVs) that are built on a modular design. The modular electric platform is designed to maximize vehicle interior space, enabling it to be customizable across owners and applications. With a robust lineup of electric LDVs, including delivery vehicles, pickup and lifestyle vehicle (LV), Canoo is attempting to do to the commercial transportation market what Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) did to the consumer EV market with its lineup of sedans, SUV and truck. It doesn’t hurt that Canoo makes its LDVs with what it says are eco-friendly materials with the smallest footprint. Canoo’s delivery vehicles are designed to be modular, built for global roads and a variety of commercial uses. Canoo is focused on driving value for fleets by reducing total cost of ownership and maximizing utilization through software solutions and customized upfitting. It also sticks to a clean, minimalist shape that has gotten recognition, most recently receiving several Red Dot Design Awards. The Red Dot Award is an annual international competition recognizing excellence in design and among the world’s largest design competitions, validating Canoo’s approach to design.
