Geely Auto has surprised the global automotive industry with its new AI-powered hybrid technology. The company has even set a record in the Guinness World Records. During a highway test, its car delivered a mileage of over 45 km per litre.
China’s leading car manufacturer, Geely Auto, has introduced a new hybrid system called i-HEV, powered by artificial intelligence. During highway testing, this system showcased impressive efficiency, consuming just 2.22 litres of fuel over a distance of 100 km. This translates to a mileage of more than 45 km/l, earning a place in the Guinness World Records.
How does this technology work?
Geely’s new system works like an intelligent computer brain that manages the car’s energy usage. While driving, it continuously monitors external factors such as temperature, humidity, and road elevation. Based on real-time data, it automatically decides when to use the petrol engine and when to switch to the electric motor for maximum efficiency.
What are the benefits?
The biggest advantage of this technology is that it ensures the engine always operates at optimal efficiency. This significantly reduces fuel consumption and improves mileage. The company claims that this is the world’s first hybrid system powered by AI cloud-based technology.
Engine and performance details
The vehicle is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a powerful electric motor. The system is engineered to maximize fuel efficiency and performance. The electric motor is highly responsive, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 30 km/h in just 1.84 seconds.
Additionally, the system uses regenerative braking, which converts braking energy into electricity and stores it in the battery, improving overall efficiency.
Challenge to Japanese automakers
With this innovation, Geely aims to challenge established hybrid leaders like Toyota. Toyota has dominated the hybrid segment for years, but Geely’s new AI-driven technology offers not only better fuel efficiency but also smarter driving capabilities.
What is the standout feature?
The most significant feature of this system is its AI-powered brain. It controls the vehicle’s driving dynamics, interior functions, and chassis from a single intelligent system. This level of integrated smart technology is still rare in many traditional hybrid cars, giving Geely a competitive edge.
