CHANGAN and CATL’s NING SERVICE Open Battery and E-Drive Service Center in Thailand

Brickinfo News Agency – CHANGAN Automobile has partnered with NING SERVICE, an aftermarket service brand under battery manufacturer CATL, to launch a Battery & E-Drive Service Center in Bangkok, Thailand. The facility, which officially opened on July 31, 2026, serves as CHANGAN’s first overseas service hub specialized in electric vehicle (EV) battery and powertrain systems.

Located on On Nut Road in the Prawet district, the center provides diagnostics, maintenance, and repair services for CHANGAN EV brands, including DEEPAL, NEVO, AVATR, and Lumin. The facility utilizes a modular repair approach, enabling technicians to identify and replace individual damaged battery modules instead of replacing the entire battery pack, which reduces repair costs and servicing time.

Ma Jian Yong, Vice President of Customer Experience Department at Changan Auto, stated that Thailand serves as a primary automotive market in Southeast Asia and a key location for the company’s global strategy. He added that the collaboration brings specialized technical equipment and standardized repair processes to the local market.

Ricky Wu, Vice President and Customer Officer of Changan Auto Southeast Asia, noted that the initiative aims to strengthen after-sales infrastructure and technical capabilities in the region. The dedicated service center also supports CHANGAN’s lifetime warranty program by establishing the infrastructure required for vehicle lifecycle maintenance.

Guo Yu, Deputy General Manager of CATL Overseas Channel & Network, stated that the partnership integrates CATL’s power battery technology with CHANGAN’s vehicle integration system to streamline aftermarket care. Both companies plan to explore further operational models within the global new energy vehicle aftermarket.
