Contemporary Amperex Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Limited, CATL's skateboard chassis arm, has entered into a strategic partnership with Turkish automotive brand Togg to jointly develop chassis platform for its new B-segment vehicle family, marking the first overseas passenger vehicle project for the platform. Under the agreement, CAIT will contribute its Bedrock Chassis technology and engineering expertise, while working closely with Togg to co-develop the platform for three models in Togg's new B-segment vehicle family. Developed in line with Togg's product strategy, user expectations and mobility ecosystem, the platform will support next-generation electric vehicles for the Turkish and European markets, with Togg playing a defining role in shaping the user experience, product requirements and digital architecture.
The first model developed under the partnership is expected to enter mass production in 2027. The Bedrock Chassis is an integrated intelligent chassis built around a battery-centric architecture. It combines core chassis components including the battery, electric drive system, thermal management system and chassis domain controller into a single platform.
This integration allows the chassis to manage both vehicle energy and motion control, effectively acting as a mobile energy carrier for the vehicle. The Bedrock Chassis has been developed for global deployment through a 1+1+1 localisation model. This model combines one chassis technology platform with one industrial supply chain pathway and the localised operation of one domestic automotive brand.
The aim is to allow electric vehicles to be designed and produced in ways that reflect the needs of local markets while using a common technological foundation. The partnership with Togg is expected to apply this approach in Türkiye, supporting the development of vehicles tailored to regional consumer preferences while strengthening the local electric vehicle ecosystem. In 2024, the Bedrock Chassis achieved mass production in the Chinese market, marking the world's first deployment of an integrated intelligent chassis offered as a standalone product to passenger vehicle brands.
CAIT is continuing to expand cooperation around the Bedrock Chassis in several regions, including Europe and Southeast Asia. The platform is designed to help emerging automotive markets build competitive electric vehicle industries more efficiently, while supporting the global shift towards low-emission mobility.
