Geely Automobile Group has established a global strategic system through years of automotive practice, which includes the Geely Sweden R&D Centre (CEVT) in Gothenburg, Sweden. CEVT is a crucial part of Geely’s global architecture and safety technology, focusing on technologies in areas such as intelligent driver assistance, power technology, and dynamic control. CEVT is located at Geely’s European Innovation Centre (Uni3), integrating R&D, design, and sales functions, attracting global talents due to its advantageous location.
Founded in 2013 as a joint venture between Geely and Volvo, CEVT now employs over 2,000 engineers from more than 40 countries and regions. In the field of intelligent driver assistance, CEVT has developed a “fail-safe” solution to ensure occupant safety through redundant design, even when braking, steering, or driving functions fail. This solution applies to L2-L4 level assisted and automated driving scenarios.
In terms of power technology and dynamic control, CEVT has developed the SEA-S architecture, the world’s first full-stack 900-volt high-power hybrid platform. Moreover, CEVT’s Dynamic AI system utilizes AI to analyze driver behavior and road information in real-time, adjusting the vehicle’s driving mode dynamically.
The collaboration with Volvo allows CEVT to incorporate Volvo’s safety development concepts, establishing Geely’s dedicated internal safety standards. These standards ensure that models under the same architecture are developed to the highest safety standards.
ZEEKR 9X represents the culmination of Geely’s global technology, featuring four core technologies: the SEA Super Electric Hybrid, SEA AI Digital Chassis, SEA Safety Armor, and the SEA Intelligent Driver Assistance System. The power systems of the ZEEKR 9X enable pure electric, extended range, and hybrid modes, providing a maximum output of 1030kW, exceeding 1400ps in horsepower. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds, with a top speed of 240 km/h, a pure electric range of 380 km, and a combined range of over 1000 km. Its maximum charging rate can reach 6C, requiring only 9 minutes to charge from 20% to 80% SoC.
CEVT played a pivotal role in the development of the ZEEKR 9X, ensuring the vehicle’s performance and reliability in extreme conditions. The ZEEKR 9X initiated presales at the Chengdu Auto Show, receiving over 42,000 orders within one hour, and the total orders have now exceeded 50,000 units.
