[Lithium battery manufacturers compete for the low altitude economic battery market] Recently, many lithium battery manufacturers, including Huizhou Yiwei Lithium Energy Co., Ltd., China Innovation Aviation Technology Group Co., Ltd., Xinwangda Electronics Co., Ltd., Funeng Technology (Ganzhou) Co., Ltd. and other listed companies, have disclosed their latest developments in battery products in the low altitude economy field. Multiple lithium battery manufacturers are competing in the low altitude economic battery market, partly to see the broad prospects of the eVTOL market; On the other hand, it also reflects that the collaborative cooperation between lithium battery companies and eVTOL manufacturers has entered a new stage, which may effectively solve the bottleneck of eVTOL power and press the 'accelerator button' for the lithium battery industry to seek new growth. ”Qin Ruohan, General Manager of Guangzhou Shengtian Jinhua Private Equity Fund Management Co., Ltd., told reporters. Lithium battery manufacturers are competing to expand into the eVTOL field, with the core being that eVTOL is not only an emerging application scenario, but also an ideal "testing ground" for (semi) solid-state batteries. The technological advantages of (semi) solid-state batteries may effectively solve the power bottleneck of eVTOL. Editor/Xu Shengpeng

• [The domestically produced largest diameter hard rock TBM is offline]
• On April 3, 2026, the domestically developed maximum diameter 13.2-meter hard rock TBM by CCCC Tianhe started construction in Changshu. The machine is equipped with 7600 domestically produced rare earth special steel main bearings developed by the Institute of Metals, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a rated life of over 15000 hours and performance exceeding imports. This move marks China Communications Construction Corporation's first achievement of 100% localization of core components for ultra large diameter tunneling machines, completely bridging the last mile of national production of major underground engineering equipment in China.Editor/Cheng Liting
