Microvast Holdings, Inc. and Iveco Group N.V. announced an expansion of their long‑standing partnership to develop new battery generations for European commercial vehicles, a move that will accelerate the deployment of higher‑energy, faster‑charging batteries in buses, trucks and other fleets across the continent.
The collaboration will build on Microvast’s lithium‑titanate oxide (LTO) chemistry, known for its ultra‑fast charging and long cycle life, and Iveco’s extensive vehicle platform expertise. Microvast’s new Huzhou 3.2‑MW capacity is slated to come online to support the partnership, while both companies are targeting higher energy density and broader chemistries for future battery generations.
Europe’s aggressive electrification targets—driven by EU CO₂ regulations and national incentives—create a tailwind for the partnership. By securing a reliable supply of advanced batteries, Iveco can meet its own zero‑emission goals and stay competitive against rivals such as Mercedes‑Benz and Volvo, while Microvast gains a foothold in a high‑margin market that has historically been dominated by larger battery suppliers.
Microvast reported record full‑year 2025 revenue of $427.5 million, a 12.6% year‑over‑year increase, and a narrowed net loss of $29.2 million, although Q4 revenue fell short of analyst expectations. Iveco’s FY 2025 consolidated net revenues were €13.4 billion, down 7% year‑over‑year, with an adjusted EBIT margin of 4.8%. The partnership is therefore positioned to offset each company’s recent financial headwinds with a forward‑looking, high‑growth opportunity.
Management highlighted the strategic value of the collaboration. Microvast CEO Yang Wu said, “Our collaboration with Iveco Group demonstrates the power of long‑term partnerships in accelerating sustainable e‑mobility and is a blueprint for how Microvast scales.” Iveco’s Head of Zero‑Emission Propulsion & Energy Alessandro Bernardini added, “Through this partnership, Iveco Group and Microvast continue to reaffirm reliable, innovative, and sustainable energy solutions.”
The expanded partnership strengthens both companies’ supply chains, reduces battery cost uncertainty for commercial fleets, and positions them to capture a larger share of the rapidly growing European electric commercial‑vehicle market. The move also signals to investors that both firms are investing in the next generation of battery technology to meet regulatory demands and customer expectations for safety, longevity, and rapid charging.
