The CTC (Cell to Chassis) technology seamlessly integrates electric motors, battery packs, high- and low-voltage systems, steering, and brakes, streamlining production processes and, reducing development timelines and also maximising the passenger space. Along with this, the platform also supports various body styles.

 

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.
