Camel Group’s 12V sodium‑ion battery chosen for preparatory phase with a leading European automotive OEM
Executive summary: Camel Group’s 12V sodium-ion battery division was selected for the preparatory phase of a project with a major European automotive manufacturer. The selection validates sodium‑ion technology for automotive use and could lead to a supply contract that diversifies Camel Group’s revenue and reduces reliance on lithium‑ion batteries.
Who is involved: Camel Group Co., Ltd. (Shanghai: 601311.SH) and an unnamed leading European OEM.
Likely next: Negotiations for a definitive supply agreement are expected to conclude within the next six months, with pilot production possible in late 2026.
Camel Group announced that its division developing 12‑volt sodium‑ion batteries has been selected for the preparatory phase of a project with a significant European automobile manufacturer. The selection follows an earlier pre‑development notice issued on August 24, indicating sustained interest from the OEM in alternative battery chemistries. If the project proceeds to full production, it could provide Camel Group with a new revenue stream and help diversify the automotive battery supply away from traditional lithium‑ion systems.
