Shanghai Auto Show: Geely Reveal In-Car Digital Chassis Technology and Roadmap

Geely has unveiled its "In-line Digital Chassis Technology" at the Shanghai Auto Show, with mass production expected for later this year. The technology promises to enhance vehicle safety and agility.

According to official statements, Geely's in-line digital chassis technology enables cars over 5 meters in length to achieve a turn radius of approximately 4.69 meters. Equipped with variable steering ratio technology, the system allows for smoother steering at low speeds and dynamically adjusts stiffness to improve handling at high speeds.

The suite of features included are dual redundant electronic control systems that provide a response rate faster than traditional hydraulic systems by 2-3 times. Additionally, an air-brake system is integrated, boasting shorter deceleration distances of around 9% compared to conventional systems.

Geely also plans to incorporate advanced electronic stability control systems, which have garnered attention from competitors in recent years.

The company has outlined a timeline for the development and implementation of its in-line digital chassis technology:

• The third-generation technology featuring front-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive systems will debut on Geely's latest flagship model during Q4 2025.
• By 2026, the fourth-generation in-line digital chassis technology will ride on a fully integrated linear-chassis vehicle, with enhanced capabilities from artificial intelligence and big data to implement sophisticated predictive motion control. This marks a significant leap towards autonomous mobility as “governed self” for Geely.
