What Gotion High-tech makes
Gotion High-tech is a battery manufacturer with full vertical integration across the lithium-ion battery supply chain, from raw materials and electrode chemistry through cell production, pack assembly, and battery recycling. Its core products are lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) cells, power battery packs for new-energy vehicles (NEV), and energy storage system (ESS) battery packs. Battery management systems (BMS) and electrolyte solutions round out the portfolio, giving the company a presence at every stage of the battery supply chain.
The automotive product lines cover passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and special-purpose NEVs. The energy storage side addresses utility-scale, commercial and industrial (C&I), and backup power applications, including a stated 28% share of the data center UPS and base station backup battery market. Gotion shipped more than 30 GWh of energy storage batteries in 2025, representing roughly 5% of the global ESS market per the company's own reporting.
In 2025, Gotion held its Global Technology Conference in Hefei and unveiled six new energy products, including the Gemstone all-solid-state battery, which entered pilot production that year, and the G-Yuan quasi-solid-state battery, which the company claims supports a 1,000-kilometer vehicle range. The company completed its first 0.2-GWh all-solid-state pilot line at its Hefei facility and finalized design work for a 2-GWh industrial-scale all-solid-state line in early 2026, with a stated target of mass production at 400 Wh/kg by 2027. The company allocates more than 10% of annual revenue to research and development and holds more than 10,000 patents globally, with over 7,000 dedicated R&D personnel.
Financial performance
Gotion High-tech reported total revenue of approximately RMB 45.1 billion (roughly USD 6.2 billion) for FY2025, representing 27.4% year-over-year growth. The Berylls Strategy Advisors Top-100 Automotive Suppliers study for 2026 places Gotion's automotive-sector revenue at approximately EUR 4.2 billion, ranking the company 78th in the global supplier hierarchy and noting it as a new entrant to that ranking.
Power battery systems accounted for 75.6% of company revenue in 2025 (RMB 34.1 billion, up 32.9% year-over-year), while energy storage battery systems contributed 20.1% (RMB 9.1 billion, up 15.8%). Net profit attributable to the parent grew 97.5% to RMB 2.38 billion, though the full-year gain included non-recurring items; the adjusted non-recurring net profit was RMB 4.32 billion. Overall gross margin was 16.2%. Total battery shipment volume grew 56.3% in 2025, with per-unit prices declining as a result of industry-wide pricing pressure. Operating cash flow improved 34% to RMB 3.62 billion. Total assets reached RMB 127.2 billion, up 18%.
The domestic China market contributed 77.4% of 2025 revenue (RMB 34.9 billion, up 43.1%), while overseas revenue declined 7.5% to RMB 10.2 billion, shifting the geographic mix from 31% overseas in FY2024 to 22.6% in FY2025. Foreign exchange losses of RMB 1.44 billion were a significant factor.
Ownership and history
Gotion High-tech was established in 2006 in Hefei, Anhui Province, China, and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in May 2015 under the stock code SZ.002074. Chairman Li Zhen is the actual controller of the company.
Volkswagen Group made a strategic investment in Gotion in 2021, becoming the largest shareholder. The partnership expanded into technology collaboration: Gotion was named the first nominated supplier of Volkswagen's Unified Cell (UC) battery format, and in 2021 the two companies announced a joint program to industrialize battery cell production in Germany. Gotion acquired Bosch's former plant in Gottingen, Germany, that same year, establishing its first new-energy production base in Europe. In 2019, Gotion signed a strategic cooperative agreement with Tata AutoComp.
The company describes 20 overseas manufacturing sites covering battery materials, cells, and packs across four regional business units: China, Asia-Pacific (APAC), the Americas, and Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA). Morocco is among the overseas expansion projects: Gotion signed an investment deal with the Moroccan government in June 2024 and, per a May 2025 Reuters report, began construction of a gigafactory in northern Africa. Domestic manufacturing spans multiple sites in Anhui Province (Yichun, Feidong, Tongcheng, Xinzhan Hefei) as well as Liuzhou and additional bases built after 2021.
Certifications and quality
Gotion holds a TUV SUD ECE R100 certificate, which the company describes as the first such certificate issued to a Chinese battery manufacturer by TUV SUD, per a company announcement on its news page. ECE R100 is the UN Economic Commission for Europe regulation governing the safety of rechargeable energy storage systems in electric vehicles. The company states that it operates in accordance with automotive quality standards and runs eight global R&D centers alongside four validation platforms. BNEF has designated Gotion a Tier 1 battery manufacturer.
Known customers
Volkswagen Group is Gotion's largest shareholder and a documented customer. In a July 2021 press release, Volkswagen Group confirmed that Gotion was its first nominated supplier for the Unified Cell (UC) battery format and that the two companies were working together to industrialize battery cell production in Germany. Tata AutoComp signed a strategic cooperative agreement with Gotion in 2019, per the company's own published history.
