During a presentation at the Dishui Lake Summit of the International Automotive Conference, Wu Kai, CATL's Chief Scientist, disclosed the capabilities of the CIIC platform.

Hozon Auto, a Chinese automaker, is slated to be the first to utilise the CIIC in a production model. Their collaboration with CATL, initiated in January 2023, aims to introduce a CIIC-based EV expected to enter production by the third quarter of 2024.
