INFRAMobility Dianba

What INFRAMobility Dianba does

INFRAMobility-Dianba GmbH is a Berlin-based, privately held GmbH founded in 2019 as a 50:50 joint venture between German infrastructure experts associated with the INFRANEU platform (led by Prof. Dr. Dieter Flämig) and Aulton Dianba, the Chinese global market leader in rapid battery swap solutions. The JV holds European distribution rights to Aulton's battery swap technology and oversees unrestricted CE certification for the European market. Its core customer segments are commercial e-fleet operators (taxi, delivery, commercial vehicle fleets up to 3.5t), service station operators seeking conversion of legacy fueling sites, and—via OEM relationships—vehicle manufacturers integrating the brand-neutral universal battery housing standard.

The company's product set comprises three pillars. First, the Battery Swap Station 4.0, a drive-through station that completes battery exchanges in a 20-second technical window (versus hours for fast charging) and supports up to 1,000 swaps and 50 MWh of daily throughput per station, using synchronized dual robotic arms on the latest generation. Second, the "7-in-1" E-Filling Station of the Future, which embeds battery swap, plug-in (AC/DC) charging, dual-use stationary storage, balancing-energy services, and conventional fueling into a single multi-use hub. Third, SWAPTOPUS®, a registered grid-services product that monetizes freshly charged swap batteries as primary, secondary, and tertiary control power for transmission system operators. Underlying technology draws on nearly 1,000 Aulton patents and licenses, includes a brand-neutral universal battery housing agreed as a standard by 16+ OEMs (including VW partner SAIC and Daimler-Benz partner BAIC), and uses controlled 0.5C charging that extends battery life by a factor of 4-5 versus fast charging.

The business model is multi-stream: sale or lease of station hardware (delivery 6-8 months post-order), per-swap transaction fees, battery leasing programs structured with OEMs and station operators, multi-year maintenance contracts with up to 12 years of insurance coverage, sale of the universal battery housing, and grid-balancing service revenue. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting service station operators and fleet operators, complemented by channel partnerships with OEMs and station operators. Operating geographies are Germany (Berlin-Westhafen pilot station live since fall 2019) and Poland (bus swap station). Headcount is 11-50 employees, with Alexander Yu Li as CEO and Prof. Dr. Dieter Flämig as co-founder and CEO of parent INFRAMobility Holding; Jianping Zhang chairs the Supervisory Board. No revenue, funding rounds, or ARR are publicly disclosed.
