Xing Mobility has announced a new partnership with Caterham, the UK-based sports car manufacturer, to supply its Immersio CTP (cell-to-pack) battery system for Caterham’s first all-electric sports car, Project V. The collaboration will be showcased at the Tokyo Auto Salon from 10th_12th January 2025, where both the car and Xing’s battery system will be featured.
Caterham, known for its lightweight sports cars, is entering the EV market with Project V, a new model that aims to combine electric power with the brand’s signature driving experience. Xing Mobility’s Immersio CTP battery system is designed to improve performance by integrating cells directly into the battery pack, reducing weight and enhancing energy density. The system also uses immersion-cooled technology, which aims to offer greater safety and stability, particularly during high-speed driving and fast charging.
“As a longtime Caterham 7 enthusiast and owner, I am thrilled that Xing Mobility is contributing to this transformative chapter in Caterham’s history,” said Royce YC Hong, Founder and CEO of Xing Mobility. “Their iconic philosophy of ‘Simplify, then add lightness’ aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation, simplicity, and efficiency. This collaboration celebrates shared values and bold visions, and we are proud to help bring Project V to life. Together, we’re redefining what it means to deliver a driving experience that is pure, exhilarating, and unforgettable.”
Project V is the result of a global collaboration involving Caterham, Xing Mobility, Tokyo R&D, and Yamaha Motor. The car features a chassis developed by Caterham, a battery system from Xing, and an e-Axle from Yamaha. The combination of these elements is designed to deliver a balance of performance, handling, and lightweight design.
Since its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2023, Project V has drawn attention as Caterham’s first foray into electrification. The car’s return to the Tokyo Auto Salon marks an important step in the company’s transition toward EVs.
