Geely Auto Group has introduced a new “16-in-1” intelligent electric drive system designed to improve both efficiency and performance in upcoming electric vehicles. The company says the Geely 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive will debut in the Geely TT and represents a shift toward more tightly integrated electric-drive hardware.
At the center of the announcement is an 800V high-voltage electric drive architecture that consolidates multiple components into a single compact unit weighing 75 kilograms. Geely says the integrated design reduces weight and simplifies power pathways, cutting energy losses while also improving packaging for future vehicles.
In efficiency testing, the Geely TT equipped with the 16-in-1 system recorded measured energy use of 8.20 kWh per 100 kilometers during a challenge around Qinghai Lake. Geely says this result set a Guinness World Records title for the lowest energy-consumption circumnavigation of Qinghai Lake by a mass-produced battery-electric sedan. The company also reported a 93.8% CLTC comprehensive efficiency figure, supported by what it describes as intelligent power optimization and multiple manufacturing and process innovations.
The drive system is built to support strong acceleration and sustained performance. Geely states the configuration can enable a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup with a combined output of 425 kW, allowing the Geely TT to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. The system uses integrated control and AI-assisted torque management, aimed at faster response and steadier output under heavy load conditions.
For thermal management, Geely says the platform includes a 54-channel directional cooling technology designed to reduce maximum motor temperature by up to 15°C. It also references active lubrication for parts of the drivetrain to maintain stability during demanding use. The company says the system is being developed with a five-million-kilometer durability target, supported by validation across components, the full electric-drive assembly, and the complete vehicle.
Geely also reported a separate performance milestone tied to Guinness testing. In a wet-surface event, the Geely TT completed a continuous twin-vehicle drift of more than 46 kilometers, which the company says earned a Guinness title for the longest continuous twin vehicle drift on a wet surface by electric vehicles.
The 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive was developed with support from InfiMotion, an ecosystem partner associated with Geely Auto Group. Geely officials said the technology strengthens the company’s capabilities in electric powertrain development and intelligent vehicle control as electrification expands globally.
