On August 28, 2026, Geely Auto Group officially unveiled its new AI-powered new energy off-road technology, bringing together three major innovations: the GTA native new energy off-road architecture, Leishen EM-T AI electric hybrid all-wheel-drive system, and AI all-terrain digital chassis.

The technologies will make their production debut on the Galaxy Battleship 700, representing Geely’s latest move to combine electrification, intelligent control, off-road capability, safety, and everyday comfort in a single vehicle platform.

At the same event, Geely also introduced its Global Quality Validation System, designed to conduct rigorous testing across diverse markets, environments, and operating conditions worldwide.

A New Approach to Electrified Off-Roading

New energy off-road vehicles still face several common challenges: balancing rugged capability with urban comfort, controlling high power precisely, lowering the skill threshold for inexperienced drivers, and maintaining safety in demanding outdoor environments.

Geely’s new technology package addresses these issues through coordinated innovation across architecture, powertrain, intelligent chassis control, and vehicle safety.

GTA Native New Energy Off-Road Architecture

Geely’s newly developed GTA architecture integrates the frame structure directly into the vehicle body, combining the characteristics of a load-bearing body with an integrated structural frame.

The architecture uses an integrated cage structure featuring six cross members, seven longitudinal members, and eight reinforcement rings, together with extensive use of high-strength steel.

According to Geely, key figures include:

• Body torsional rigidity: over 40,000 N·m/deg
• Roof compression strength: 5.8 times the vehicle’s weight
• Maximum roof load: over 16 tonnes
• Frame weight reduction: approximately 100 kg
• Total vehicle weight reduction: approximately 200 kg

The high-rigidity structure is intended to improve durability on demanding terrain while helping protect the traction battery from repeated torsional deformation.

The architecture also provides increased battery ground clearance and a 24° longitudinal breakover angle. Inside the cabin, it creates up to 70 mm of additional vertical space, a flat floor and flat door sills, with claimed space utilization reaching 80.3%.

Compared with a conventional separate-frame design, Geely says the architecture improves pitch and response performance by 3%–9%, while overall body performance improves by more than 30%.

On the Galaxy Battleship 700, the vehicle’s center of gravity is approximately 700 mm, while body-roll suppression is claimed to improve by an average of 21% compared with traditional body-on-frame off-road SUVs.

Leishen EM-T Delivers 830 kW

The second major technology is the Leishen EM-T electric hybrid system, developed specifically for new energy off-road vehicles.

It combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged dedicated hybrid engine, a three-speed off-road hybrid transmission, and a multi-motor four-wheel-drive system.

The system delivers:

• Combined system output: 830 kW
• Wheel-end torque: up to 13,920 N·m
• Power-to-weight ratio: 392 PS/t on the Galaxy Battleship 700

Geely describes it as a three-motor off-road four-wheel-drive system delivering more than 1,000 horsepower.

The drivetrain uses what Geely calls three electronic and mechanical “locks.” Independent torque control across the front and rear axles and rear wheels provides two software-based locking functions, while a mechanical rear locking system is available for extreme traction conditions.

Torque can be distributed between the four wheels from 0% to 100%, improving traction and vehicle control across different surfaces.

The dedicated 2.0T engine achieves a claimed thermal efficiency of 48.41% and works with a three-speed DHT. The first gear targets difficult off-road conditions, the second urban driving, and the third high-speed cruising.

An AI-powered scenario engine connected to Geely’s Xingrui cloud power system can also optimize the balance between fuel and electrical energy use, with Geely claiming an energy-efficiency improvement of more than 15%.

AI All-Terrain Digital Chassis

Geely has also introduced an AI all-terrain digital chassis built around its EEA 4.0 electronic and electrical architecture and GVMC 3.0 vehicle motion control system.

The system supports 9+6+X terrain modes and can use AI to identify road conditions ahead before automatically adjusting driving modes, wheel torque, suspension settings, and vehicle posture.

The objective is to make challenging off-road driving more accessible to ordinary users while maintaining stability and control.

The architecture can support different suspension technologies, including active hydraulic suspension.

With AI-based road preview, the system can identify potholes and other obstacles, estimate their distance, depth, and shape, and adjust suspension response in real time to reduce impact.

Six internally developed control algorithms continuously monitor body movement and coordinate suspension control. Geely states that the system offers a hardware response time of 50 ms and hydraulic pressure of up to 150 bar, helping stabilize the vehicle during jumps, landings, and high-speed cornering.

Advanced Safety for Extreme Environments

Geely’s new off-road platform also incorporates its latest comprehensive safety technologies.

The Star Armor Body uses ultra-high-strength and hot-formed steel throughout the main passenger-compartment structure.

A hidden roll-protection structure consists of 11 hot-gas-formed tubes with a combined length of 10.6 meters and material strength of up to 2,200 MPa.

The vehicle achieves a claimed rollover resistance index of 1.236, forming what Geely describes as comprehensive “720-degree” protection.

Additional technologies include:

• Aegis battery safety system
• Emergency floating escape mode
• Satellite-ground communication safety system
• Dual-mode oxygen supply system for high-altitude environments

These systems are intended to address battery impact, deep-water situations, connectivity in remote regions, and oxygen availability at altitude.

Geely Builds a Global Quality Validation System

Alongside the new off-road technologies, Geely introduced a comprehensive validation framework covering different geographical regions, technical disciplines, and stages of vehicle development.

The company plans to establish 16 professional test bases across five global testing regions, covering 147 countries and regions.

Its validation database includes approximately 13,530 differentiated global-use scenarios and 135 extreme operating conditions, which Geely says represent 99.5% of global automotive usage scenarios.

The Shangrao Automotive Comprehensive Proving Ground, where the technology event was held, is Geely’s second global testing base.

Developed over eight years, the facility features more than 70 km of test roads and over 180 representative global operating conditions, supporting vehicle development, durability evaluation, and performance verification.

More Than 280 Laboratories and 6,800 Engineers

Geely’s testing infrastructure includes more than 280 laboratories and over 3,600 sets of critical testing equipment.

Its “7+6+X” validation framework combines seven fundamental test groups, six intelligent-function testing groups, and specialist laboratories focused on emerging technologies such as advanced optics, intelligent acoustics, and new materials.

The company has also integrated a data-simulation-bench-vehicle validation process into its NPDS product development system, allowing test results to support full lifecycle product management.

More than 6,800 testing and validation engineers participate in Geely’s global engineering network.

According to company figures, Geely uses more than 10,000 validation vehicles each year, accumulating over 100 million kilometers of annual testing, equivalent to roughly 2,500 trips around the Earth.

Before launch, each new model undergoes more than 100,000 simulation tests, millions of hours of bench testing, and millions of kilometers of physical vehicle validation.

Galaxy Battleship 700 Undergoes 6.11 Million Kilometers of Testing

The Galaxy Battleship 700 underwent a development programme lasting more than three years.

Geely says the project involved:

• 859 test vehicles
• More than 6.11 million km of test driving
• Over 80 real-world off-road scenarios
• 7,933 validation items

The extensive programme reflects Geely’s emphasis on combining rapid new energy vehicle development with systematic durability and safety validation.
