Credit: Geely Understand China EV’s Market Real-time notifications when critical EV data is released All important data in one place 2,000,000+ data points Become a member Geely Galaxy officially unveiled its “Thunder” 16-in-1 intelligent electric drive system today, a technology developed by Geely Holding Group’s subsidiary, InfiMotion. According to Geely, the system achieves a comprehensive efficiency of 93.8%, marking a production-level record in the industry. IntegrationThe “Thunder” system achieves ultra-high integration by consolidating 12 hardware functions – including the motor, motor controller, reducer, DCDC, OBC, PDU, HBMS, LBMS, VCU, TMS, active pre-charge control, and power domain gateway – along with four software capabilities: intelligent energy management, intelligent charging management, intelligent motion control, and intelligent health management. This cross-domain integration eliminates over 180 redundant components, resulting in a power density of 11.8 kW/kg (15.8 hp/kg). The system utilises a magnesium alloy housing and an integrated design for the motor, reducer, and mounting brackets. Weighing 75 kg – a 15% reduction compared to mainstream industry products – the system also reduces high-voltage wiring by 30% and low-voltage wiring by 15%. With a vertical height of under 325 mm, the compact design frees up approximately 28 litres of additional trunk space for the vehicle. Details of the “Thuander” electric drive. PerformanceBased on an 800V high-voltage platform, the system features “One-Chip” technology, which compresses control latency from an average of 40 ms to as fast as 2 ms, enhancing responsiveness. In recent tests, a vehicle equipped with this drive system achieved a record-breaking energy consumption of 8.2 kWh/100km during a challenge around Qinghai Lake. While this was a specific test condition, the system supports a CLTC-rated energy consumption as low as 10.7 kWh/100km. The system’s efficiency is bolstered by AI-driven algorithms that optimise performance in low-temperature and high-speed scenarios. In -18℃ conditions, the system can store thermal energy equivalent to approximately 7 kWh, reducing cabin heating energy consumption by over 40%. The InfiMotion company. Debut in the Galaxy TTThe “Thunder” system makes its debut in the Geely Galaxy TT, a pure electric sports sedan, which debuted this month. The vehicle measures 4999 mm in length, 1919 mm in width, and 1479 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920 mm. The Galaxy TT offers two power configurations: Two-wheel drive version: Peak power of 245 kW (329 hp). Four-wheel drive version: Peak power of 425 kW (570 hp), enabling a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds. The vehicle is available with three battery capacities: 52.4 kWh, 63.8 kWh, and 75.2 kWh, providing CLTC ranges of 540 km, 640 km, 650 km, and 725 km, respectively. Geely Galaxy TT.
