Avita releases new CIIC integrated intelligent chassis, sparking industry controversy

Recently, Avita launched its latest product at a press conference - the CIIC integrated intelligent chassis named "Rock Chassis". This chassis focuses on intelligence and safety, and is positioned as an efficient and safe base. However, the remarks made by Chen Zhuo, CEO of Avita Automobile, at the press conference sparked controversy. He said that Avita would only use batteries from CATL and would not use batteries from other brands. This statement undoubtedly regards many power battery brands including BYD, Sinotruk, Guoxuan High-tech, Honeycomb Power, Xinwanda, EVE Energy, and Farasis Energy as miscellaneous brands. In fact, Avita does only use batteries provided by CATL, and CATL even specially designed an H-type power battery for Avita 12. This is because Avita has a deep cooperative relationship with CATL. Avita was founded in July 2018 and currently has 3,515 employees and 22 shareholders. The largest shareholder is Changan Automobile, with a shareholding ratio of 40.994%, and the largest external shareholder is CATL, with a shareholding ratio of 14.0957%. In addition, Chen Zhuo also revealed that Avita will be the world's first car equipped with CATL's rock-solid chassis, which is expected to be released next year, which is exciting.
