In a strategic move to accelerate the development of next-generation energy solutions, Shanghai Putailai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Putailai) has signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Blue Solutions, a global pioneer in solid-state battery systems.
The partnership aims to jointly develop materials and production equipment for 4th-generation solid-state lithium-metal batteries. Drawing on Putailai’s expertise in battery materials and automation equipment, and Blue Solutions’ longstanding technological leadership in solid-state batteries, the collaboration is set to deliver innovations tailored to the growing demand for high-performance, safe, and durable energy storage—particularly in electric mobility.
Since 2023, Putailai has expanded globally, including localized services in Europe, while Blue Solutions has entered multiple development partnerships across mobility and consumer segments. As the only manufacturer of commercial solid-state battery systems since 2011, Blue Solutions brings unmatched experience in integrating battery technologies into transportation and stationary storage.
The JDA focuses on two key areas: material innovation and equipment development. Putailai will supply Blue Solutions with customized components such as binders and active materials, while both companies will co-develop and adapt manufacturing equipment to meet the requirements of large-scale solid-state battery production.
“This agreement marks a major milestone in our international growth strategy,” said William Chen, CEO of Putailai. “Together with Blue Solutions, we aim to set new industry standards for safety, efficiency, and scalability.”
Richard Bouveret, CEO and Chairman of Blue Solutions, added, “With this partnership, we combine our leadership in lithium-metal solid-state batteries with Putailai’s material and manufacturing expertise to deliver cutting-edge solutions ready for market adoption.”
