TMT Motors secures exclusive rights to EV battery swapping technology
Wuling-ev.vn, 5 Aug '25
As part of its efforts to support the development of an electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in Vietnam, TMT Motors has secured exclusive rights to utilise patented battery and battery swapping station technology - applicable to both electric cars and motorbikes - from an international technology provider.
In accordance with Vietnam's transport electrification policies and emissions reduction commitments under Decision No. 876/QD-TTg (dated 22nd July 2022) and Directive No. 20/CT-TTg (dated 12th July 2025), TMT Motors has been implementing measures related to the electrification of the transport sector.
TMT Motors was authorised by an international technology firm to deploy patented technology for shared-use batteries and battery swapping stations.
The system standardises batteries and swapping infrastructure for use across different electric vehicle brands - both cars and motorbikes - provided they meet defined compatibility and functional standards. The technology is expected to reduce investment requirements for manufacturers and improve operational procedures.
The system supports smart energy management, electronic payment platforms, remote battery condition monitoring, and automated charging schedules. The battery swapping stations operate using a standard 220V supply, which is compatible with Vietnam's residential electrical systems.
It allows installation in areas where 220V power is available and enables battery replacement within 1 to 2 minutes. The system reduces the need for home charging and minimises fire risk.
The stations feature automation and are designed to be operated based on local traffic requirements. They can house between 1 and 100 battery units and are intended for a variety of users, including households, small businesses, and commercial transport operators. The compact design allows installation in apartment complexes, homes, rental properties, petrol stations, and facilities operated by transport service providers.
In light of the limited availability of EV charging infrastructure - particularly in densely populated areas and residential buildings - the battery swapping station developed by TMT Motors provides an alternative approach suitable for local conditions. The system is intended to help address infrastructure gaps and increase access to EV usage.
Through the provision of shared infrastructure for both electric cars and motorbikes, TMT Motors is establishing a system intended to assist individuals and businesses in shifting to electric transport.
The development seeks to address limitations in residential charging and is intended to contribute to reduced emissions and lower noise levels.
By integrating EV and motorbike production and assembly with charging and battery swapping infrastructure, TMT Motors is implementing a model intended to support transport electrification.
This initiative corresponds with the targets set out in Decision No. 876/QD-TTg and Directive No. 20/CT-TTg related to green energy transition and emissions reduction in the transport sector.
