SHANGHAI, June 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- U Power Limited (Nasdaq: UCAR) (the "Company" or "U
Power"), a vehicle sourcing services provider with a vision to
becoming a comprehensive electric EV battery power solution
provider in China, today announced
that its UOTTA technology and battery swapping station model is to
be adopted in a strategic collaboration between UNEX EV B.V.
("UNEX") and Associação Nacional dos Transportes Rodoviários em
Automóveis Ligeiros ("ANTRAL").
ANTRAL is an association of companies in Portugal representing public passenger road
transport companies operating light vehicles designated as taxis.
Through their collaboration, UNEX and ANTRAL aim to significantly
reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector by 2030, in
line with the European Union's decarbonization targets and
Portugal's regulatory requirements
for taxi vehicles.
Bringing together U Power's battery swapping station model,
UOTTA technology, and ANTRAL's extensive network and market
knowledge, the collaboration aims to establish and develop a
partnership for the intermediary sales of electric vehicles,
primarily targeting the taxi industry. The initiative is supported
by incentives for decarbonization, whether through the sale and
exchange of vehicles or the installation of charging and battery
swapping stations.
Jia Li, Chairman and CEO of U
Power, commented, "This collaboration between UNEX and ANTRAL that
utilizes our UOTTA technology marks a significant stride towards
promoting sustainable transportation and reducing emissions. By
combining our battery-swapping expertise with their commitment to
decarbonization, we aim to facilitate the transition of taxi fleets
from fossil fuels to electric mobility. This partnership highlights
the global taxi industry's shift towards electrification, which
will lead to reduced operational costs, increased driver earnings,
and lower carbon footprints. With 50,000-60,000 European taxis
expected to transition to electric vehicles in the next three to
five years, our technology and support systems are well-positioned
to drive this transition across various countries and regions. The
application of our UOTTA technology in the collaboration
demonstrates that it is gradually being adopted and validated in
overseas markets. We will continue to work with EV manufacturers
and taxi companies to secure additional partnerships, creating
value for our shareholders through business development in the
European market."
