CATL's Shenxing Pro LFP battery for Europe is showcased at IAA Mobility 2025

8 September 2025, 00:23:56

CATL presented the Shenxing Pro battery at IAA Mobility 2025. This is the world's first LFP battery that can achieve a sustained high-voltage supply, maintain power, and prevent fire and smoke after thermal runaway. Equipped with CATL's proprietary NP 3.0 technology, this EV battery is available in two variants:

Shenxing Pro Super Long Life & Long Range Battery: The world's first LFP battery to deliver a 758 km WLTP range and a record-breaking 12-year / 1,000,000 km lifespan, driving breakthroughs in battery lifespan and range performance. With 9% degradation after the first 200,000 km, it is perfectly tailored to support Europe's leasing markets.
Shenxing Pro Super-Fast Charging Battery: It charges 478 km WLTP range in just 10 minutes—equivalent to 0.8 km per second—establishing it as the leading superfast-charging LFP battery in Europe. Delivering 830 kW with 0-100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds even at 20% state of charge (SOC), it achieves thrilling performance and enduring reliability across varied conditions. It maintains exceptional performance in extreme cold, achieving 410 km of range in 20 minutes at –20°C. Backed by up to a 10-year / 240,000 km warranty, it redefines the standards of superfast-charging resilience.

Both variants leverage CATL's proprietary NP 3.0 technology, the pinnacle of CATL's seven-year evolution of No Propagation (NP) safety innovations. Recognized as the world's best-in-class safety performance, NP 3.0 enables sustained high-voltage supply for over an hour post-thermal runaway, maintains the vehicle's speed, allowing drivers to navigate their vehicles away from danger zones calmly, and ensures no flames and no smoke. As L3 and L4 autonomous driving shift more accident responsibility to vehicle systems, Shenxing Pro ensures uninterrupted power and system continuity in emergencies, meeting the elevated safety and risk response demands of this era.

Shenxing Pro incorporates CATL's innovative Wave cells, which feature a raised shoulder design and space-sharing technology. This is the world's first battery that allows cooling systems and fixation to be applied from any direction, as opposed to only having a limited choice before. It achieves omnidirectional vibration suppression, boosting battery pack stiffness by 25% and doubling durability. Shenxing Pro breaks traditional Cell-to-Body (CTB) limitations through its cell design, achieving a remarkable 76% pack volume efficiency.
