U Power Limited a provider of AI-integrated solutions for next-generation energy grids and intelligent transportation systems, announced the successful launch of its regulatory compliant tokenized real-world assets ("RWA") on the BNB Chain, in collaboration with infrastructure platform PicWe. The RWA issuance marks an important milestone in U Power's efforts to explore compliant blockchain-based frameworks that enable real-world energy assets to be represented digitally.

The initiative marks a new phase of U Power's battery swapping business under its broader strategic business expansion plan. U Power will launch this initiative first in the Southern Europe market where the Company is deploying AI-driven battery-swapping, and dynamic energy asset management systems for fleets of commercial electric vehicles (EVs), and gradually expand into its existing markets in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong SAR, and South America. Through the digital integration of operational efficiency and ecosystem engagement, the initiative supports scalable growth while operating within all applicable regulatory frameworks.

As global adoption of new energy vehicles accelerates, commercial transportation sectors, including logistics, ride-hailing, and public transit, are increasingly demanding high-frequency, reliable, and efficient energy replenishment solutions. Battery-swapping technology has emerged as a scalable and operationally efficient response to these needs.

The tokenization of assets connected to U Power's operational battery-swap stations, will leverage its proprietary UOTTA™ modular technology. These stations have begun generating revenues across China and Southeast Asia, and are now being scaled in Southern Europe through strategic partnerships with local transport and logistic leaders. Of note, U Power recently announced a strategic joint venture with FTT Holding Company LLC., a U.S.-based technology investment firm which plans to commit up to $50 million into the joint venture to support battery swapping infrastructure deployment across Southern Europe.

Through the application of tokenization technology, dynamic energy assets, such as battery-swapping stations and related infrastructure, can be connected to digital systems that support broader participation across emerging energy ecosystems. Subject to local regulations and compliance frameworks, these structures are designed to facilitate new forms of value interaction between users, infrastructure operators, and the broader U Power ecosystem.

The Company believes that compliant RWA frameworks may support the evolution of energy service models, allowing users to engage more closely with infrastructure networks beyond traditional consumption-based relationships. Through the tokenization of RWAs, U Power is at the forefront of the Web3.0 transformation in EV new energy infrastructure and battery assets, offering investors enhanced transparency into business dynamics and developments as well as seamless access into investment opportunities in these assets.

Looking ahead, U Power plans to continue evaluating innovative yet compliant technologies that enhance the efficiency, flexibility, and scalability of energy systems. The Company believes that the convergence of AI, physical energy infrastructure, and digital assetframeworks may play an increasingly important role in the future of sustainable transportation and smart energy networks.
