Revitalized & Fully Aligned: Hefei KED and Cartech Electric Sign Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to Co-Create a New Paradigm for the Charging Ecosystem

On August 25th, Hefei KED Charging Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “KED”) and Catech Electric (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Catech Electric”) officially signed a new strategic cooperation agreement. Catech is an automotive ecosystem brand under Haier Group, relying on the COSMOPlat industrial internet to provide full-cycle vehicle solutions including used cars, personalized modification and customization, smart charging, and home-car interconnection. This signing is not a simple continuation of cooperation, but a comprehensive upgrade in the level, breadth, and depth of cooperation based on the deep mutual trust and business synergy between the two parties—moving from single equipment supply and demand to full-chain ecological collaboration of “R&D-manufacturing-site-operation-service,” marking the two companies officially entering a new stage of strategic symbiosis characterized by “all-round, in-depth, and normalized” development.

Wang Ya, Chairman of the Group, Liu Ming, Chairman of the Trade Union and Chairman of the Intelligent Manufacturing Company, and Sun Pifeng, Chairman of Haier Charging Pile Industry, Jiang Guipeng, General Manager, Zhao Mingjie, Deputy General Manager, and other core management personnel from both sides attended the signing ceremony to witness the implementation of the strategic cooperation.

As deep practitioners in the new energy charging sector and core players in Haier’s new energy industry ecosystem, the two companies have already established a solid cooperative relationship in areas such as charging pile equipment supply and site construction. This strategic upgrade is based on the critical window of opportunity presented by the industry’s transformation from “scale expansion” to “high-quality development,” representing a systematic integration and value amplification of both parties’ resources.

Prior to the signing ceremony, Wang Ya led the core management team to visit the Haier Ecosystem Experience Center, conducting in-depth research on Haier’s comprehensive ecosystem layout and digital innovation system, further solidifying their understanding of Cartesian Electric’s technological strength and ecosystem service capabilities. In the subsequent discussion, both parties held strategic discussions on the new landscape of the charging industry, the direction of technological evolution, and business model innovation, clarifying that “complementary advantages and mutual benefit” are the core principles, upgrading the previous “project-level cooperation” to a “strategic partnership.”

“This strategic upgrade represents another significant step in the practical application of the ‘technological innovation + ecosystem co-construction’ development philosophy,” said Wang Ya. “We highly value KATECH Electric’s unique advantages in its smart charging ecosystem, digital capabilities, and nationwide service network. From ‘cooperation’ to ‘symbiosis,’ we will jointly explore new paths for the high-quality development of charging infrastructure, providing users with a better and more convenient charging service experience, and injecting sustainable development momentum into the new energy industry.”

Currently, the new energy charging industry is transitioning from a period of rapid expansion to a more refined and intensive development phase (2.0 era). This strategic upgrade between KATECH Electric and KATECH Electric not only represents the synergy of the two companies’ strengths but also a model innovation between a technology-driven enterprise and a leading ecosystem-based enterprise in the charging sector. In the future, both parties will take this signing as a new starting point to continuously deepen end-to-end collaboration, jointly improve the new energy charging industry ecosystem, and contribute to the high-quality implementation of the “dual-carbon” goals.
