TOB NEW ENERGY recently hosted the AI team from Alibaba for a company-wide training program on AI applications. The session covered practical ways TOB employees can use AI tools to improve efficiency in daily work, while the two companies also explored how AI can support TOB's battery equipment and services in the future. The training reflects TOB's approach to AI: adopt it as a working assistant, not as a replacement for engineering experience. TOB's customers need precision, reliability, and accountability in battery manufacturing. AI helps TOB teams move faster and work smarter; TOB engineers remain responsible for every conclusion, every recommendation, and every answer. Training Highlights During the on-site training, Alibaba's AI specialists shared practical applications of AI across office workflows. TOB teams from engineering, sales, supply chain, and after-sales management participated, learning how to use AI tools for documentation, data processing, cross-language communication, and routine task automation. The program was designed to be hands-on rather than theoretical. Employees practiced using AI tools on real work scenarios, such as drafting technical documents, summarizing research materials, organizing customer requirements, and improving internal reporting. The goal was straightforward: reduce repetitive work so engineers and service teams can spend more time on tasks that require human judgment. AI in Daily Work: Faster, Not Replaced TOB has already introduced AI-assisted workflows in daily operations. Examples include: Using AI to speed up technical documentation and data organization Using AI to support cross-language communication with international customers Using AI to help summarize and structure internal reports and training materials In every case, AI serves as an assistant. Employees verify AI-generated content before it is used, and AI is never treated as the source of final technical decisions. For TOB, the value of AI in daily work is time: faster preparation, better organization, and more attention available for engineering analysis and customer communication. AI in Products and Services: Pilots Underway, More on the Roadmap Beyond internal productivity, TOB is working with Alibaba's AI team to explore AI applications in battery equipment and customer services. Early-stage pilot programs are already underway in selected areas, with deeper applications being planned. Current pilot areas focus on how AI can assist, not replace, engineering work: AI-assisted analysis of equipment operation data to help engineers identify patterns faster AI-assisted organization of technical knowledge to support faster, more consistent customer support preparation AI-assisted process parameter suggestions that engineers evaluate and validate before applying These pilots are deliberately limited in scope. AI does not make decisions for TOB engineers. It helps them analyze data, organize knowledge, and prepare recommendations more efficie...

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has issued Announcement No. 20 of 2026, repealing and revising policies and standards related to the "cascade utilization" (second-life use) of retired power batteries from new energy vehicles (NEVs) and regulating related industry activities. Published on July 30, 2026, the announcement marks a significant shift in how China manages the end-of-life pathway for EV batteries, and a clear signal that battery products must meet application-grade quality standards under stricter regulatory scrutiny. For TOB NEW ENERGY, an integrated battery solutions provider serving more than 6,000 factories, universities, and research institutions globally, the policy confirms the direction the company has long championed: compliant, quality-driven battery manufacturing and material-level recycling, rather than unregulated reuse of retired cells. What the Announcement Changes End of cascade-use enterprise administration. The cascade utilization provisions of the "Industry Standard Conditions for Comprehensive Utilization of Retired Power Batteries from New Energy Vehicles (2024 Edition)" are repealed. MIIT will no longer administer a cascade-use enterprise announcement list, and previously announced cascade-use enterprises are removed from the qualifying list. The announced regeneration (material recycling) enterprise list remains in effect. Stricter product compliance. Battery products manufactured from retired power batteries must meet the quality standards of their application field. The announcement explicitly prohibits any organization or individual from using retired power batteries, whole or after splitting, reorganization, or reassembly, as battery packs, modules, or cells in electric bicycles or other fields prohibited by laws, administrative regulations, and mandatory standards. Standardization cleanup. Relevant standardization organizations are directed to review and accelerate the repeal or revision of national and industry standards related to cascade utilization, aligning the standards framework with the new management requirements. Stronger enforcement. Competent authorities are directed to strengthen supervision and enforcement, investigating and punishing the production of non-compliant battery products from retired power batteries. Social organizations are also required to stop cascade-use-related promotion, exhibitions, consulting, and training activities. What the Policy Shift Means for Battery Manufacturers The announcement does not end battery reuse as a concept. It redefines how retired batteries should be handled responsibly. Material-level recycling becomes the compliant end-of-life pathway. With cascade-use enterprise administration discontinued and the regeneration enterprise list retained, the policy directs the industry toward recovering battery materials, including cathode and anode active materials, foils, and other recoverable components, rather than reassembling aged cel...
