CATL was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2018 and has partnerships with major car brands including BMW and Volkswagen. In 2018, German automobile group BMW announced their plans to purchase $4bn worth of batteries from CATL for the electric models Mini and iNext.

The project will create 9,000 new jobs and will supply batteries for the electric models of European car makers. The deal represents the largest investment in Hungary, dwarfing the previous $2.29bn investment by South Korean battery maker SK ON’s. In fact Catl had an annual revenue of more than $56 billion in 2023 amd emploeyd more than 115.000 people worldwide.
