On September 19, the 2024 Taizhou International Automobile Industry Expo opened grandly. With the theme of "Vibrant Taizhou, Technological Geely", Geely Holding Group brought its Geely, Lynk & Co, Zeekr, smart, Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, new energy commercial vehicle brand Yuancheng, and commercial aerospace company Spacetime Daoyu to the Taizhou Auto Show, forming a strong product and technology lineup to showcase the important achievements of Geely's new energy and intelligent transformation, and to create a travel experience beyond users' expectations with an integrated intelligent technology ecosystem.
From January to August this year, Geely Holding Group achieved cumulative sales of 2.01 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 21.6%, and new energy sales of 824,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 48.5%. The new energy penetration rate reached 41%, which is in a leading position among global automobile groups. At present, Geely has built a complete three-dimensional new energy matrix, creating new energy brands and product ecosystems such as Geely Galaxy, Lynk & Co, Zeekr, Volvo, and Polestar, as well as the new luxury smart pure electric car brand smart and Lotus after the electrification transformation, bringing users diverse choices and ultimate experience. Among them, at the Zeekr booth, the luxury large five-seater pure electric SUV Zeekr 7X meets the high demands of family users for comfort, safety and intelligence, and will be officially launched on September 20. In the first week after its release on August 30, the orders for Zeekr 7X exceeded 20,000 vehicles, which received high attention from the market.
Adhere to the exploration of green methanol and practice the diversified technology path of new energy
Building a space-earth integrated technology ecosystem
Geely Holding Group has firmly promoted the transformation of intelligent new energy. In the past decade, it has invested more than 200 billion yuan in research and development, established more than 10 research and development and styling centers around the world, and has more than 30,000 high-level and international engineering research and development design personnel. It has made a lot of investment and exploration in cutting-edge technology fields such as automotive safety, new energy technology, human-computer interaction, intelligent driving, on-board chips, and low-orbit satellites, and continues to build a smart technology ecosystem that integrates the sky and the earth, and cultivates and develops new quality productivity.
As an important highlight of the Taizhou Auto Show, the booth of Spacetime Daoyu, a commercial aerospace company under Geely Holding, attracted a lot of attention. Geely is building the world's first low-orbit satellite constellation serving the future travel ecosystem: the private "China Starlink" - Geely Future Travel Constellation, which is independently built and operated by Spacetime Daoyu. On September 6, the third orbital plane of Geely Future Travel Constellation was successfully launched into orbit with ten satellites in one rocket. At present, the constellation has 30 satellites in orbit, which can achieve 24-hour global coverage of 90% of the region, and will officially provide satellite communication services to overseas users. This is also the first time that a Chinese commercial aerospace company has provided low-orbit satellite communication services to global users. The construction of Geely's future travel constellation will provide highly reliable and low-cost application services for future human travel fields, such as autonomous driving, intelligent networking, and consumer electronics. At present, Spacetime's self-developed satellite communication chips, vehicle-mounted satellite communication terminals, and high-precision positioning services have been mass-produced and applied, and have been installed on multiple brand models under Geely Holding, comprehensively improving users' intelligent travel experience.
Demonstrating Geely's New Energy Transformation Achievements
At the auto show, Geely also brought fruitful results of its intelligent new energy innovation and exploration. From the new generation of intelligent modular architectures such as the SEA vast architecture and the GEA global intelligent new energy architecture, to the full stack of self-developed three-electric technologies such as the Aegis Dagger battery and the EM-P super extended-range electric solution, to the green methanol technology, in the first half of the new energy transformation, Geely Holding Group insisted on the diversified ecological layout of new energy, accelerated the pace of technological innovation and transformation, and achieved dual improvement in technology and market.
In the diversified development of green and low-carbon industries, Geely insists on exploring the use of green methanol to solve the energy security and dual carbon problems, and comprehensively promotes the development of green methanol energy and methanol vehicles. At this Taizhou Auto Show, Geely showcased an important achievement in the innovative exploration of green methanol - Geely Carbon Warehouse Technology, which can capture carbon dioxide emitted by vehicles in real time, recycle it after recovery, and synthesize green methanol through methanol vehicle technology and green methanol preparation technology, realizing the recycling of carbon dioxide resources and near-zero vehicle emissions.Henan Wangdao focuses on the automotive industry，Geely Starray Car，Changan UNI-T Car，Kia Sportage Car，Lixiang Mage Car.
