CATL Launches New Battery Module Assembly Line in Debrecen

CATL’s investment in Debrecen (eastern Hungary) has reached a new milestone: the assembly of battery modules began in a new building on May 6, after obtaining all the necessary permits.

The construction of the company’s first cell factory has already been completed in the Southern Industrial Park, and the installation of Industry 4.0 equipment has also been completed.

As soon as all the permits required for the start of cell production are obtained, the test production of battery cells will begin.

Module production has already been underway since autumn 2024 in a rented hall on two production lines, where 240,000 modules have been produced so far, powering 60,000 electric cars in Europe. On May 6, the assembly of battery modules also began in a newly constructed building next to the company’s cell factory, after CATL Debrecen received all the necessary permits.

The new module assembly line has an annual capacity of 5 GWh.

The investment is driven by the increasing demand in Europe for high-performance, safe EV batteries, which CATL is serving with innovative, high-performance and long-life batteries, continuously adapting its product portfolio to the European customers’ needs.

CATL is a global leader in the intelligent transformation of the battery industry, committed to providing premier solutions and services for new energy applications worldwide. Founded in 2011, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) has a global market share of more than 39.29% in the electric vehicle battery market in 2025, making it one of the world’s most important players in the battery industry.

CATL has 13 production sites and 6 research and development centers worldwide, giving the company comprehensive experience in the design and operation of battery factories. Eleven of CATL’s factories have already been awarded as carbon-neutral, three of which have been selected by the World Economic Forum as members of the Global Lighthouse Network. These factories are the only three in the world to have Lighthouse recognition in the battery industry. In the future, CATL will adopt its experience in industry 4.0 technologies, green manufacturing, and logistics at its Debrecen plant as well.
