Taiwanese battery technology company XING Mobility has announced a major push at CES 2026 with the theme "Ten Years of Immersive Cooling Innovation." This time, they're not just focusing on electric vehicles; for the first time, they're expanding their scope, showcasing achievements across three major applications: electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems (ESS), and AI data center backup batteries (BBUs).
Among them, the world's first immersion-cooled 800V BBU designed to meet the computing power needs of the next generation of AI, and Project V, a pure electric concept sports car created in collaboration with the legendary British sports car brand Caterham, demonstrate Taiwan's strong capabilities in the fields of "heat dissipation" and "high-voltage power".
With the explosive growth of AI computing power, data center cooling has become a necessity: the BBx800 makes its debut.
With major manufacturers like NVIDIA promoting 800V high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power supply architecture as the next-generation standard for AI data centers, the traditional 48V power architecture has long been inadequate. Faced with rack power consumption often exceeding 1MW, solving the problems of "heat" and "security" has become the biggest challenge.
The BBx800 that Xingjing Technology has just unveiled is a solution specifically designed for this purpose:
• Full immersion cooling:Using patented IMMERSIO technology, the battery cells are directly immersed in insulating coolant, keeping the operating temperature within a comfortable range of 25–27°C for a long time, which greatly reduces the risk of thermal runaway.
• High-density output:The module is only 2 OU in height, but it can provide a peak instantaneous output of up to 1.2 MW (90 seconds) in a single 20 OU rack, perfectly handling the instantaneous load of AI computing.
This means that Xingjing Technology has successfully transferred the "automotive-grade" high voltage and heat dissipation technology accumulated in electric supercars to the AI data center, solving the high voltage insulation and safety compliance thresholds that traditional server manufacturers find difficult to overcome.
Endorsed by a prestigious British sports car brand: Caterham Project V makes its debut.
In addition to the data center, Xingjing Technology's core business—electric vehicle technology—will also be on display. The Caterham Project V all-electric concept sports car, utilizing IMMERSIO CTP (Cell-to-Pack) module-less technology, will be exhibited at the event.
This sports car proves that immersion cooling technology can not only "dissipate heat," but also achieve lightweight and high performance within a limited body space. Caterham also announced that it will unveil the production prototype at Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 in Japan, symbolizing that the technology has officially moved from concept to commercial mass production.
In addition, for grid-scale applications, Xingjing will also showcase the IMMERSIO XBE1000 energy storage cabinet, which has a 2P discharge capability (double power) and an output power of up to four times that of traditional air-cooled systems, making it suitable for high-load grid frequency regulation.
Using "automotive-grade" standards to achieve a lower level of attack
Hung Yu-Chun, founder of Xingjing Technology, pointed out: "When we were building our solutions, the world hadn't really realized the existence of the problem yet."
CES 2026 will be a crucial moment for Xingjing Technology to validate this statement. In the past, people's impression of immersion cooling was mostly limited to "supercars" or "special purposes", but with the exponential growth of the heat dissipation of AI chips, liquid cooling and immersion cooling technologies have gone from optional to essential.
The smartest thing about Xingjing Technology is that it uses the rigorous testing (collision protection, insulation, extreme weather) accumulated over the past decade in automotive-grade high-voltage batteries to build the BBU for its data center. This is, to some extent, a "lower-dimensional attack"—if it can handle batteries that are racing on the track and vibrating in the mud, then server batteries placed in a temperature-controlled server room will naturally be more than capable.
In the AI era, Taiwan is not only producing chips, but also seems to occupy a key position in the infrastructure that "cools down chips".
