NEWBASE Successfully Launches Autonomous Logistics Fleet in Huangshan – A Model of Policy Compliance and Integrated Manufacturing
Huangshan, China – October 2025 – NEWBASE has achieved a significant milestone with the successful deployment of its autonomous logistics vehicle project in the Huangshan region. This achievement is built on a dual foundation of policy compliance and integrated production-sales operations, ensuring both regulatory approval and efficient delivery capabilities.
Policy-Driven Deployment for Seamless Operations
The project fully complies with China’s Guiding Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2024 Edition), which encourages the development of intelligent transportation and autonomous logistics technologies. Through formal government filing and approval processes, NEWBASE provides clients with legally compliant, risk-free procurement and operational support, enabling smooth integration into urban and regional logistics networks.
Integrated Production & Delivery System
To ensure high-quality output and rapid response to customer demand, NEWBASE has invested heavily in building a localized manufacturing base in Huangshan. The facility features standardized production lines and 20 sets of advanced assembly and testing equipment, enabling full integration of design, manufacturing, final assembly, validation, and field operation. This “production-sales integration” model ensures consistent product quality, accelerates delivery timelines, and supports scalable expansion for growing client fleets.
Core Product: Autonomous Refrigerated Logistics Vehicle – Solving Cold Chain Challenges
As the flagship product of the project, NEWBASE’s autonomous refrigerated logistics vehicle is engineered specifically to address key pain points in urban cold chain distribution: temperature control instability, low efficiency, and rising operational costs.
Ultra-Wide Temperature Control (–20°C to +12°C)
Equipped with a precision thermal management system, the vehicle supports dual-zone operation—simultaneously maintaining ambient and refrigerated compartments. Ideal for transporting pharmaceuticals, fresh produce, baked goods, and other temperature-sensitive goods, it ensures a continuous, uninterrupted cold chain from origin to destination.
L4-Level Autonomous Driving – Fully Operational in Complex Environments
Powered by multi-sensor fusion perception, autonomous obstacle avoidance, and intelligent path planning, the vehicle operates completely driverless across open city roads, campuses, and complex intersections. It enables 24/7 high-frequency deliveries with zero human intervention, significantly improving logistics efficiency.
Robust Performance for Real-World Use
Cargo capacity: 8.8 m³
Payload: 1,000 kg
Range: 135 km (combined cycle)
Battery: Stable lithium iron phosphate (LFP), supporting fast charging — 30% to 80% in just 3.4 hours
This makes it ideal for high-demand urban delivery routes where reliability and uptime are critical.
Smart Monitoring & Remote Management
Via a dedicated mobile app, operators can:
Remotely control refrigeration units and vehicle functions
Monitor real-time GPS location, route tracking, and temperature data
Achieve full visibility and traceability throughout the delivery process
This reduces labor dependency and lowers overall operating costs.
A New Era of Smart Cold Chain Logistics
With this successful launch in Huangshan, NEWBASE continues to demonstrate its leadership in intelligent, sustainable, and scalable autonomous logistics solutions. By combining regulatory foresight, vertical integration, and cutting-edge technology, NEWBASE is not only delivering vehicles—but redefining the future of urban supply chains.

Comprehensive Introduction to EV Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS)
2025-08-18
Comprehensive Introduction to EV Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS)
1. What is a BTMS?The Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) is a critical subsystem designed to regulate the temperature of battery packs or modules in electric vehicles (EVs) and other energy storage applications. Its primary goal is to maintain the battery within an optimal temperature range, thereby ensuring peak performance, extending cycle life, enhancing safety, and improving overall system efficiency. By preventing overheating during high-power operations and mitigating performance degradation in cold environments, the BTMS plays a pivotal role in the reliability and longevity of modern lithium-ion batteries.
2. Operating Environment of BTMSBTMS operates under demanding conditions, including: - Wide Temperature Range: Must function effectively from as low as -40°C to over 60°C. - High Vibration and Shock: Subjected to constant mechanical stress from vehicle motion and road conditions. - Humid and Corrosive Conditions: Exposed to moisture, rain, snow, and salt spray, especially in marine or winter climates.
These challenges necessitate robust design and high environmental resilience in BTMS components.
3. Key Characteristics of BTMSTo meet performance and safety demands, a BTMS must exhibit the following characteristics: - Real-time Monitoring: Continuously tracks temperature distribution across the battery pack. - High Accuracy: Utilizes precision sensors to ensure reliable temperature data for control decisions. - Reliability: Operates consistently under harsh conditions to safeguard battery integrity. - Energy Efficiency: Minimizes power consumption of cooling or heating components to preserve vehicle range.
4. Core Functions of BTMSThe BTMS performs several essential functions: - Temperature Monitoring: Collects real-time thermal data from multiple points within the battery pack and logs historical trends. - Thermal Regulation: Maintains battery temperature within a safe and efficient operating window (typically 15°C–35°C). - Cooling & Heating: Employs active or passive methods—such as air cooling, liquid cooling, or embedded heaters—to manage temperature extremes. - Fault Detection & Diagnostics: Identifies thermal anomalies (e.g., hotspots, sensor failures) and triggers alerts or protective actions. - System Communication: Interfaces with the Battery Management System (BMS) and vehicle control unit (VCU) via standardized protocols for coordinated operation.
5. Communication Protocols Common communication protocols used in BTMS include: - CAN Bus: A robust, multi-master serial protocol widely used in automotive applications for real-time data exchange. - Modbus: A simple, open protocol often used in industrial and energy systems. - RS485: A differential signaling standard supporting long-distance, noise-resistant communication.
These protocols enable seamless integration and data sharing between the BTMS, BMS, and other vehicle systems.
6. Key Components of BTMS A typical BTMS consists of the following components: - Temperature Sensors: Placed strategically within the battery pack to monitor cell and module temperatures. - Controller (e.g., MCU or Dedicated IC): Processes sensor data and executes control algorithms for thermal regulation. - Actuators: Includes cooling fans, pumps, valves, PTC heaters, or thermoelectric devices that respond to control signals. - Communication Module: Facilitates data transmission with external systems. - Cooling/Heating Infrastructure: Such as cold plates, heat exchangers, refrigerant loops, or air ducts, depending on the cooling method.
7. Typical BTMS Specifications- Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +60°C (ambient) - Communication Interfaces: CAN 2.0B, Modbus RTU, RS485 - Physical Dimensions: Ranging from compact units (100×100×50 mm) to larger assemblies (500×500×200 mm) based on battery size - Power Consumption: 100W to 10kW, depending on cooling/heating capacity and system scale
8. ConclusionThe Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) is indispensable for the safe, efficient, and durable operation of battery systems in electric vehicles, energy storage, and portable electronics. As battery technology advances and demands for higher energy density and faster charging grow, the role of BTMS becomes increasingly vital. By precisely managing thermal conditions, BTMS not only enhances performance and lifespan but also ensures user safety—making it a cornerstone of next-generation electrified transportation and energy solutions.
