Caterham picks Taiwan company's battery tech for its first electric sports car

TAIPEI: Taiwanese company XING Mobility today announced a partnership with Caterham to supply its advanced Immersio CTP (cell-to-pack) battery system for Caterham’s first all-electric sports car, Project V.

This collaboration will debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon from Jan 10 to 12, 2025, where both Project V and XING’s Immersio CTP system will be showcased.

Project V is billed as a car that combines the joy of driving with cutting-edge electric technology.

XING Mobility’s Immersio CTP system is designed to enhance performance by integrating cells directly into the battery pack, improving energy density and reducing weight.

Custom-built to fit Project V’s design, the system employs XING’s proprietary immersion-cooled technology, which the company claims is safe and stable during high-speed drives and rapid charging.

Since its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK in 2023, Project V has captured global attention as a symbol of Caterham’s evolution into electrification.

The car’s return to the 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon marks a significant milestone in the brand’s journey towards sustainable innovation, offering enthusiasts a glimpse of its electric future.
