What happened
On August 28, Geely Automobile Group formally introduced its AI new-energy off-road technology, designed to serve both extreme off-road scenarios and everyday commutes. The system is built around three core innovations: the GTA native new-energy off-road architecture, the exclusive Thunder God EM-T hybrid powertrain, and an AI all-terrain digital chassis, with the technology debuting on the Galaxy Warship 700.
The GTA architecture employs a load-bearing body with an integrated frame embedded into the body skeleton, achieving torsional stiffness exceeding 40,000 N·m/deg, more than double that of traditional ladder-frame off-road vehicles. The Thunder God EM-T powertrain pairs a 2.0T off-road hybrid engine with a three-gear electric drive and dual motors, producing combined power of 830kW and a 0-100 km/h time of 3.95 seconds. The AI all-terrain digital chassis uses cameras and radar to read road conditions up to 30 meters ahead, supporting active obstacle crossing.
Geely also unveiled a 'user-first global quality verification system,' noting that some test intensities reach 48 times national standards. The company says the system is meant to keep risks in the test field so that users are not treated as test drivers, supporting Geely's global expansion.
Why it matters
The new technology directly tackles a common trade-off in the new-energy off-road market: models that excel off-road often sacrifice daily comfort, and vice versa. By claiming to combine both in one platform, Geely is positioning itself to capture buyers who want versatility from a single vehicle.
The quality verification system could also build trust in overseas markets as Geely looks to deepen its global presence. A test intensity reaching 48 times national standards, if proven, could become a strong credibility marker and encourage competitors to raise their own verification requirements.
