Technology firm U Power agrees on a deal with a Hong Kong tech company for the acquisition and rollout of 300 electric vehicles that are compatible with battery-swapping technology.
U Power, a leading player in the battery-swapping sector, has taken a significant step forward in its mission to transform Hong Kong's transport sector. The company has signed a Letter of Intent with a Hong Kong-based technology firm, marking the first step towards the deployment of 300 battery-swapping compatible electric vehicles (EVs).
The vehicles in question are MGEP swappable-battery compatible EVs, designed to seamlessly integrate with U Power's advanced battery-swapping platform. Once the agreement is finalized and orders are delivered, these vehicles will be deployed into commercial operation, further bolstering U Power's presence in the urban mobility market.
This collaboration is an important milestone for U Power, demonstrating their technological leadership and market presence. The company aims to install 55 smart battery-swapping stations in Hong Kong, a crucial initiative for supporting the transition of Hong Kong's fleet of 18,000 taxis to electric vehicles, along with electric buses and ferries.
Each battery swap will earn drivers tokens, which can be redeemed for electricity tariff credits. This innovative incentive system is designed to attract more drivers and fleet operators to adopt battery-swapping EVs. The revenue streams will not only come from the sale and deployment of smart battery-swapping stations but also from battery-swapping services.
U Power's advanced battery-swapping platform is designed for rapid scaling, aiming to convert global partnerships into diversified revenue streams. The company is accelerating its expansion in Hong Kong SAR and other strategic markets, with a commitment to delivering smarter, cleaner, and more efficient mobility solutions.
A spokesperson for the client expressed pleasure about the collaboration and its potential for accelerating the adoption of battery-swapping electric vehicles in Hong Kong. The fulfillment of the order is subject to further negotiations and the execution of a definitive sales agreement.
Participating drivers will utilize U Power's first smart battery-swapping station in Hong Kong for efficient battery swapping. Further updates on U Power's progress will follow as they continue to execute on their growth strategy.
This news comes from the latest Batteries News shaping the battery market. The deployment of these 300 battery-swapping compatible EVs is set to have a significant impact on Hong Kong's transport sector, paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient urban mobility.
