Recently, Geely Automobile Group CEO Gan Jiayue publicly revealed: Empowered by the All-Domain AI 2.0 and All-Domain Safety 2.0 systems, Geely will launch in the first half of the year a new-generation global oil-electric hybrid technology that surpasses "Japanese hybrids" — i-HEV Intelligent Dual Engine — and will successively roll out 4 to 5 all-new hybrid models. Geely's all-solid-state battery will also complete its first Pack rollout this year and undergo vehicle installation verification. Where regulations permit, Geely will also push highway L3 and urban L4 functions and realize trial operations of Robotaxi.
2026 is a major product year for Geely, with 1-2 all-new products to be launched each quarter, including multiple all-new hybrid models and a new generation of methanol-hydrogen energy models, comprehensively covering every segment from mainstream to luxury, from fuel to new energy,全力冲 targeting the annual sales target of 3.45 million vehicles.
i-HEV Intelligent Dual Engine Consumes Only 3L of Fuel, Surpassing Japanese Hybrids, Will Launch 4 to 5 All-New Hybrid Models
Following the Thunder God AI Electric Hybrid 2.0 and the Haohan Super Electric Hybrid SEP, Geely will make a push into the HEV hybrid field this year, unveiling a new-generation oil-electric hybrid technology — i-HEV Intelligent Dual Engine — in the first half of the year, and successively launching 4 to 5 all-new hybrid models.
It is understood that the i-HEV Intelligent Dual Engine integrates the world's best powertrain system and globally leading three-electric technology, making it a new-generation global oil-electric hybrid product capable of surpassing "Japanese hybrids." As the world's first oil-electric hybrid system applying "AI Cloud Power," the i-HEV Intelligent Dual Engine can reduce HEV fuel consumption per 100 kilometers to 3L. Combined with Geely's self-developed intelligent electric drive, the vehicle's power output will increase by at least 20% compared to mainstream HEVs, and give fuel vehicles a full sense of electric drive as well.
Previously, Geely and the Renault Group established HORSE, the world's largest powertrain company. Currently, HORSE already supplies more than 8 million units per year of engines, transmissions, hybrid systems, and other products to 15 global mainstream, high-end, and luxury automotive brands, giving Geely access to the world's most leading powertrain technology.
All-Solid-State Battery to Undergo Vehicle Installation Verification, Robotaxi to Welcome Trial Operations Within the Year
In the power battery field, Geely's Golden Shield Short Blade Battery can achieve a maximum charging rate of 12C, making it the fastest-charging mass-produced lithium iron phosphate battery in the world. Recharging from 10% to 80% takes as little as 7 minutes, pushing mass-produced pure electric vehicles into the "7-minute megawatt fast-charging era."
This year, Geely will complete the first Pack rollout and vehicle installation verification of its all-solid-state battery, and will bring long range, ultra-fast charging, and 800V platforms into the mainstream market. The pure electric range of all Geely Galaxy electric hybrid models will also be increased to over 200km, and all will be equipped with AI Cloud Power. In the future, Geely's Golden Shield Short Blade Battery will also introduce a new lithium manganese iron phosphate material system, further increasing battery energy density by more than 15%.
Not long ago, Geely released its "All-Domain AI 2.0" strategy at CES 2026. Empowered by the WAM World Behavior Model, Geely's new-generation Qianli Haohan assisted driving system G-ASD 3 already possesses a class-leading assisted driving experience. This year, where regulations permit, Geely will also push highway L3 and urban L4 functions and realize trial operations of Robotaxi.
In the green methanol-hydrogen field, where it has been deeply engaged for more than 20 years, Geely will, based on its fifth-generation methanol-hydrogen electric technology that is "methanol-capable, electric-capable, and fuel-capable," achieve mass-production and market launch of a new-generation methanol-hydrogen electric model within the year, and accelerate the construction of refueling networks in 4 provinces and 7 cities including Jinzhong and Harbin, speeding up the popularization of green energy in the mass market.
Four Major Brands Develop Synergistically, Zeekr 8X to Make Global Debut of Multiple Hardcore Technologies
Based on firm implementation of the "Taizhou Declaration," "One Geely" has successfully completed its integration, and Geely Automobile Group has formed a four-brand matrix with clear positioning and complementary advantages. Among them, Zeekr is positioned as a "luxury technology brand," Lynk & Co as a "global new energy high-end brand," Geely Galaxy as a "leader in premium new energy vehicles," and the Geely China Star series will continue to deepen its presence in the fuel vehicle market.
The four brands will deepen the brand strategy of resource sharing and synergistic development, forming a complete product system supporting Geely Automobile Group's high-end development with higher product value, and creating travel experiences beyond expectations for every user. According to the plan, Geely will launch 1-2 all-new products every quarter in 2026, covering every segment from mainstream to luxury, from fuel to new energy.
Following the Zeekr 9X, Geely will launch this year a new high-end pinnacle product — the Zeekr 8X. The Zeekr 8X will be equipped with the only full-stack 900V high-voltage powertrain system in the global hybrid field, the world's first self-developed 2.0T dedicated hybrid engine, the industry's first 900V powertrain domain intelligent agent, and the world's first drive electric drive transmission with a maximum power of 290kW, bringing users a purer sense of electric drive and a unique driving experience.
Globalization Embarks on "Regional Deep Cultivation" + "Global Synergy" Strategy, Full-Year Exports Target 640,000 Vehicles
In 2025, Geely Automobile Group achieved cumulative sales of 3.02 million vehicles, setting a historic high, a year-on-year increase of 39%, ranking first among mainstream automakers in growth rate. In 2026, Geely Automobile Group has set its full-year sales target at 3.45 million vehicles, of which the export sales target is 640,000 vehicles. Based on this, Geely will implement a globalization strategy of "regional deep cultivation" + "global synergy," and will build 3 regional markets at the 150,000 level and 2 at the 100,000 level globally, continuously exporting high-value intelligent premium vehicles to the global market and steadily advancing high-quality overseas expansion.
In the "strategic hub" Southeast Asian market, Geely will build a Proton AHTV industrial park with integrated "R&D-production-sales-service" and an annual output of 500,000 vehicles, serving as a "bridgehead" radiating to the 11 ASEAN countries and surrounding markets. For developed markets such as Europe and the United States, Geely will adhere to a high-end route, relying on Volvo's channel advantages and Renault's layout in the South American market to achieve large-scale breakthroughs in developed markets.
In addition, Geely will also adhere to diversity and openness, establishing localized operating systems in key markets through multiple methods such as product export, brand going global, capital cooperation, and technology empowerment, innovating overseas expansion models, and achieving leapfrog development from "Made in China" to a "Global Brand."
Gan Jiayue stated: "Competition in the automotive market in 2026 will be even more intense, and the market will also face many uncertainties, but the overarching trend of high-quality industry development will not change. Only by deeply cultivating technology and persisting in innovation can an enterprise build its core competitiveness. Geely will continue to uphold its original aspiration of 'building intelligent premium cars for everyone,' driving the high-quality development of the automotive industry through technological innovation, and creating safe, reliable, intelligent, and convenient travel experiences for global users."
