OSLO, Norway, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On 24 September 2026, CATL opened its
largest NING SERVICE centre outside Asia in Oslo, extending its battery lifecycle
service network in Europe.

[[

The 8,000 square metre centre will serve Norway and the wider Nordic region, providing
battery services, training local technicians and supporting circular economy efforts
across the region.

Norway is one of the world’s most advanced EV markets. In August, battery electric
vehicles made up 98.7% of new passenger car registrations, and electric buses accounted
for more than 60% of bus and coach registrations. As this fleet grows and ages, 
demand for battery diagnostics, repair and life extension is rising. The Norway 
Centre is built to meet it.

**Full-lifecycle battery services**

 ◦ Drawing on CATL’s R&D and manufacturing expertise, NING SERVICE covers the full
   battery lifecycle: testing, maintenance, repair, insurance, second life and recycling.
   Its services span transport, energy storage and robotics.
 ◦ NING SERVICE is helping shift the aftermarket from replacing batteries to repairing
   them, and has cut turnaround for complex repairs from 72 to 48 hours.
 ◦ Its deep repair capability covers 76.8% of EV models and applies CATL’s production-
   line quality standards. The Intelligent Eagle Eye System, used in more than 150
   repair facilities, provides full traceability and quality control.
 ◦ The centre will also serve as a brand experience space and sales agent for emerging
   electric applications, including vessels, eVTOL aircraft and robotics. NING SERVICE
   already manages agency sales for CATL’s ecosystem partners, such as AutoFlight
   and Galbot.

**Circularity and local skills**

CATL launched the Global Energy Circularity Commitment (GECC) in strategic partnership
with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. In line with its vision, NING SERVICE is building
an aftermarket ecosystem that keeps batteries in use for longer and returns their
materials into new batteries.

"In a circular economy, batteries stay in use at their highest value for as long
as possible, and their materials are recovered to make new ones. Inspection, maintenance
and repair services are an important part of making that happen at scale," said 
Miranda Schnitger, Climate Lead at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

The centre will create skilled green jobs and become NING SERVICE’s main training
hub in the Nordics. Drawing on a training network across 39 European countries and
a team of 14 experienced instructors, it will offer courses certified by CATL and
practical training for local technicians. NING SERVICE also plans to work more closely
with Norwegian universities and technical institutions to build local expertise.

**Bringing service closer to customers**

CATL is expanding its local presence worldwide through local infrastructure and 
ecosystem partnerships. The Norway Centre will be a key hub in NING SERVICE’s European
network, bringing high-quality service closer to customers in line with its promise
to be "Your Nearby New Energy Service Expert."

"CATL brings technology, industry expertise and a trusted brand. Combined with YES-
EU’s local knowledge and service capabilities, we can build a stronger battery service
ecosystem across the Nordics and support the long-term growth of Europe’s EV market,"
said Benedikt G. Gudmundsson, Founder and Chairman of YES-EU Group.

"Customers are at the heart of everything we do at NING SERVICE. Working closely
with our local partners, we will provide reliable battery lifecycle services that
meet the needs of Norway’s EV market and support its continued electrification,"
said Bruce Li, President of Quality Systems, Aftermarket Business Division, CATL.

NING SERVICE operates 1,394 service locations across 85 countries and regions. It
aims to reach 100 countries and regions by 2027 and 10,000 service locations by 
2030.
