Strategic Choices from a Global Perspective: Shell's China Tour Visits Only Two Companies, with Startup Technology Among Them

Recently, David Kordonowy, Global Head of Game Changer at Shell, and Wang Chang, Head of Shell China, led a team to visit Startup Technology. They engaged in in-depth discussions on mobile energy storage and charging technology, user experience, and the joint construction of an energy ecosystem, jointly envisioning a new blueprint for new energy services. During this trip to China, the Shell team selected only two innovative companies, with Startup Technology and Unitree Robotics, a globally renowned robotics company, receiving this honor. This fully demonstrates Startup's strategic position and technological strength in the global energy innovation landscape.

I. R&D Strength Gains Authoritative Recognition: Technological Resonance within the Global Innovation Network

The Shell team's first stop was the Startup R&D Center, where they explored the entire technology chain. From its self-developed L4-level low-speed autonomous driving algorithm and multi-sensor fusion positioning system (L+V SLAM) to its wide voltage input/output (100V - 1000V) smart charging module, Startup demonstrated its core strengths covering "R&D - testing - iteration." David, Global Head of Commercial Partnerships at GameChanger, commented: "Startup's R&D closely follows user needs, and its technological approach is pragmatic and forward-looking."

Background Link: Shell Gamechanger's new round of innovation challenges launches today! This call for entries focuses on Shell's key business segments in China, emphasizing "electricity"! This is an important initiative by Shell to find energy innovation partners in the Chinese market, and Startup Technology's R&D strength has already received initial recognition from Shell's global innovation network.

II. Mobile Charging and Storage Solve Charging Anxiety: Scenario-Based Solutions Receive High Praise

In the experience zone, Shitu demonstrated the entire process of its mobile charging and storage robot service: users can make a one-click reservation, and the robot, equipped with its self-developed intelligent chassis, accurately navigates to the vehicle, stably connecting to charge even in complex scenarios, all without human intervention. It supports 60kW-80kW fast charging, providing 400km of range in 30 minutes, and a single device can continuously serve multiple vehicles, effectively alleviating the pain point of scarce charging resources in urban core areas. Wang Bo, Commercial Partnerships Manager of Shell China, stated, "This flexible charging mode is highly compatible with Shell's new energy service network plan."

III. Strategic Resonance in Energy Layout: Synergistic Opportunities in Global Energy Transition

At the exchange meeting, Shell elaborated on its dual-track strategy of "traditional energy + new energy," accelerating its transformation into an integrated energy service provider. Startup showcased its "mobile energy storage and charging + smart energy management platform" solution, which improves energy utilization efficiency through dynamic scheduling and integration of "photovoltaic, energy storage, and charging," and its V2G function can also assist in grid peak shaving. David, Global Head of Commercial Partnerships at GameChanger, emphasized: "Startup's technology complements Shell's global network, and the cooperation between the two parties will bring new possibilities for the co-construction of the energy ecosystem."

IV. The Potential of Intelligent Robots Emerges: New Explorations into Technological Boundaries

Shell also showcased a prototype of its general-purpose space service robot, SRT. While its appearance remained confidential, its precise environmental perception and motion control capabilities attracted attention. Equipped with a multimodal perception and dynamic path planning system, the robot achieves motion control accuracy of ±2mm and possesses task generalization capabilities, adapting to diverse scenarios. Shell's technology team believes that its combination with mobile energy storage and charging technology has the potential to improve the operational efficiency of energy infrastructure.

V. Cross-border Dialogue: Ushering in a New Chapter of Energy Cooperation

This visit by Shell executives was not only a comprehensive test of Shitu's technological strength, but also an in-depth dialogue between a global energy giant and a Chinese innovative enterprise. Shitu will continue to deepen its core technologies, working hand in hand with Shell to promote innovation and upgrading of energy services, contributing Chinese wisdom to the global energy transition.
