Accelerating AI technological transformation, leading China's technological innovation

Entering the second half of intelligentization, competition in the automotive industry is moving from "functional intelligence" to "scenario intelligence," and from "single-vehicle intelligence" to systematic competition of "all-domain connectivity." Geely Automobile is deeply cultivating technology, adhering to innovation, and continuously building core competitive advantages.

At 2026 CES, Geely Automobile officially released the WAM World Action Model. Geely's all-domain AI technology system officially evolved to the 2.0 era, achieving deep integration of AI technology across all vehicle domains, enabling automotive intelligence for the first time to possess a continuously evolving "worldview" and "judgment."

Empowered by the WAM model, Geely Automobile's new-generation Qianli Haohan assisted driving system — Qianli Haohan G-ASD — was also officially released, which can provide users under the Geely system with the highest-quality experience at the same level. In 2026, subject to regulatory permission, Geely will gradually roll out highway L3 and urban L4 functions, and launch Robotaxi trial operations.

With the help of the all-domain AI 2.0 system, Geely's Eva ultra-anthropomorphic intelligent agent will also accelerate its evolution into a perception-decision-execution hub with memory and reasoning capabilities, marking the official evolution of the in-vehicle intelligent agent from a "functional module" to a "vehicle-wide intelligent hub."

In the battery field, in 2026, Geely's Shenxing Golden Brick battery will launch a new lithium manganese iron phosphate material system, and battery energy density is expected to increase by more than 15%. Geely's all-solid-state battery will also complete its first Pack rollout and vehicle installation verification this year, and promote long-range, ultra-fast-charging, and 800V platforms to accelerate into the mainstream market. This year, the pure electric range of all Geely Galaxy hybrid models will increase to more than 200km, and all will be equipped with AI cloud power, making users save more the more they drive.

In the HEV hybrid field, Geely will launch a new global generation of gasoline-electric hybrid technology — i-HEV intelligent dual engine — in the first half of 2026. As the world's first gasoline-electric hybrid system applying "AI cloud power," i-HEV can reduce HEV fuel consumption per 100 kilometers to 3L, and vehicle power will increase by at least 20% compared with mainstream HEV, allowing fuel vehicles to also have an excellent electric driving experience. This year, Geely Automobile will successively launch 4 to 5 all-new hybrid models.

Overseas sales doubled, steadily advancing high-quality going global

Centering on the globalization strategy of "regional deepening" and "global synergy," in January, Geely Automobile's overseas export sales reached 60,506 units, a year-on-year increase of 121% and a month-on-month increase of 50%, with international market competitiveness continuing to improve. Among them, overseas new energy sales reached 32,117 units, a month-on-month increase of 76%, accounting for 53% of total overseas export sales.

The pace of launching globalized models continues to accelerate: in mid-January, the Zeekr 007GT officially went on sale in Europe, covering twelve markets including Northern Europe, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland; in late January, the Geely Xingyuan was officially launched in Indonesia. Since presales began last November, the Geely Xingyuan has received more than 1,500 orders. The Zeekr and Lynk & Co brands also officially entered the Indonesian market this month, improving Geely Automobile's layout in the high-end mobility sector.

In 2026, Geely Automobile will set its export sales target at 640,000 units, a year-on-year increase of more than 50%; at the same time, it plans to build 3 regional markets at the 150,000-unit level and 2 at the 100,000-unit level globally.

Specifically, it will focus on three paths to promote high-quality going global: First, with Southeast Asia as a strategic hub, build the Malaysia AHTV Industrial Park as a bridgehead, and construct an integrated "R&D-production-sales-service" industrial park with an annual output of 500,000 units, radiating to ASEAN and related markets. In developed markets such as Europe and the United States, adhere to high-end breakthroughs: relying on Volvo's channel advantages and Renault's South American layout, achieve Geely's large-scale breakthrough in developed markets. At the same time, adhere to a diversified and open innovative going-global model. Through multiple approaches such as product export, brand going global, resource integration, and technology empowerment, establish localized operating systems in key markets, ultimately achieving leapfrog development from "Made in China" to a "global brand."

Facing a more fiercely competitive automotive market in 2026, Geely Automobile will uphold the original aspiration of "building intelligent premium cars for everyone," use "One Geely" to gather synergy, use technological innovation to promote the high-quality development of the automotive industry, and create a safe, reliable, intelligent, and convenient new mobility experience for global users.
