Clarios and China Aviation Lithium Battery Technology Co. Ltd. (CALB)

In 2021, Clarios entered into a nonbinding framework agreement with China Aviation Lithium Battery Technology Co. Ltd. (CALB) to explore the potential to purchase lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells and related systems.  Despite that announcement, no supply contract was ever established and the framework agreement is null and void. Clarios did not share intellectual property or technical details related to system design. At no time, has CALB participated in or attempted to participate in Clarios research and development activities.  CALB is not an approved supplier for Clarios, and CALB cells were never specified, purchased or used in a Clarios product.  Clarios has severed all ties with CALB without any further contact whatsoever.
