Chinese battery manufacturer CATL has launched trial production operations in Hungary, marking its first overseas factory for electric vehicle batteries. The facility aims to support Europe’s growing demand for high-capacity energy storage solutions as automakers accelerate their shift toward electrification. With local production, the company seeks to reduce reliance on Asian supply chains and strengthen its position in a competitive market. The move follows increasing investments by Chinese tech firms in Central and Eastern Europe.
