Recently, the strategic investment between Zhefu Intelligent System (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhefu Intelligent) and Guoxin Kechuang Phase II Fund was successfully completed.

Guoxin Kechuang Fund Management Co., Ltd. is a private equity investment fund management company approved by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of China. Headquartered in Beijing, it is a well-known strategic investment company in the industry. On the basis of the success of the first phase of Guoxin Kechuang Fund, the second phase of Guoxin Kechuang Fund was established in August 2020, with a total fund size of 5 billion yuan, and has invested in many well-known enterprises involved in information transmission, software and information technology services, scientific research and technology services and financial services.

Founded in 2015, Zhefu Intelligent is a state-level specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise, which is a rare enterprise in the industry that can provide a comprehensive intelligent thermal runaway closed-loop solution linked with "active safety+monitoring and early warning+passive safety" of power lithium batteries. Zephyr BSS, a closed-loop prevention and control management system for digital intelligence and thermal safety of Zhefu lithium battery, was developed, designed and produced by Zephyr BSS, which is an early product in the industry to use liquid to control the thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries and suppress fires. Now it has passed the market verification period of more than 5 years, and it has been widely used in new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, charging and replacing systems, Internet data centers and other fields, and has been highly recognized by head customers in various fields.

Ou Wenzhi, CEO of Guoxin Kechuang Fund, said: "The new energy industry has always been the key layout area of Guoxin Fund, and a strong ecological resource network has been built around the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. In recent years, lithium battery safety accidents have occurred frequently. In addition to the intrinsic safety of the material system, the multiple assistance of active safety and passive safety is expected to ensure the safety of lithium batteries to the maximum extent, which is an inevitable and urgent choice for the industry. Investing in Zhefu Intelligent, a leading enterprise in lithium battery safety industry, is an important layout of Guoxin Fund in the field of battery thermal management and fire protection segmentation, which is conducive to strengthening cooperation between the two parties in the new energy vehicle manufacturing sector, energy storage sector and battery thermal management sector, and helping Zhefu Intelligent achieve high-quality development. "

Li Fei, founder, chairman and CEO of Zhefu Intelligent, said: "China has become the main battlefield of the global' double carbon' strategy. New energy vehicles and energy storage are the only way to achieve the national' double carbon' goal, and battery safety is the lifeline to ensure the sustainable development of the' double carbon' strategy. Zhefu Intelligent has always adhered to the industry-leading and customer-oriented R&D concept, taking the research on the thermal runaway mechanism of lithium batteries as the starting point, taking the high-quality vehicle-grade manufacturing as the standard, continuously improving its core competitiveness, and striving to contribute to the development of lithium battery safety industry. I am very grateful to Guoxin Kechuang Fund for its affirmation and support to Zhefu Intelligence. This financing will be used for the research, development, production and sales of lithium battery safety equipment, providing strategic partners with a complete set of systems including lithium battery thermal management, monitoring and early warning, and fire suppression. Safe solutions strongly support the layout and development of Zhefu Intelligence in the field of lithium battery safety. "
