The 2nd Europe-China New Energy Vehicle Technology Conference took place in Munich, Germany, on September 11–12, 2025. During the event, Dr. Richard Zhang, Managing Director of EVE Germany, delivered a keynote titled “Rooted in Europe, Symbiosis and Growth,” outlining the company’s strategic approach to the European market and highlighting milestones in technological innovation, localized production, and sustainable practices.
EVE Energy, a global producer of lithium-ion batteries, offers solutions across power, energy storage, and consumer applications. In 2024, the company introduced its Omnicell large cylindrical power battery for passenger vehicles, becoming the first Chinese manufacturer to achieve stable mass production of such cells. As of August 2025, Omnicell batteries have been installed in approximately 70,000 vehicles, with individual cells recording mileage of over 270,000 kilometers, making EVE Energy the leading producer and supplier of large cylindrical batteries in China.
The Omnicell technology has gained recognition among major European automakers for its high energy density, rapid charging capability, and competitive cost profile. Notably, the recently launched BMW iX3 is equipped with Omnicell batteries, marking a significant step in the collaboration between the two companies.
To strengthen its European presence, EVE Energy secured approval this year for a new manufacturing facility in Hungary, which is slated to begin operations in 2026. This plant will bolster local supply chains and service capacity. In parallel, EVE Germany has established six vendor-managed inventory hubs across Europe, delivering cell-to-system energy solutions to more than 500 customers.
Beyond manufacturing, EVE Energy has fostered cross-border partnerships and community engagement. The company signed memoranda of understanding with the University of Debrecen and Wuhan University to advance sustainable battery research. It also sponsored the “THROW DOWN” youth sports event in Debrecen and participated in various cultural initiatives.
On the sustainability front, EVE Energy has implemented measures to reduce the carbon footprint of its batteries throughout their lifecycle, including green design, renewable energy integration, and circular chain management. The company has completed carbon footprint assessments for over 40 products and launched the “Cradle to Cradle Initiative” for lithium recycling. In 2024, EVE Energy earned a BBB rating from MSCI and a score of 46 from the S&P Global ESG Index.
EVE Energy maintains ongoing quality partnerships with leading automakers, achieving an A-level rating from Mercedes-Benz for four consecutive years and recognition as a core battery supplier by BMW. The company has also deployed its CLS global cooperation model in Europe and is preparing for its next phase of collaboration with regional partners. Through these efforts, EVE Energy aims to serve as an integrator of new energy solutions, fostering China-Europe cooperation for a sustainable future.
