Automotive manufacturer Geely Auto has officially launched the i-HEV intelligent platform. The mechanical set uses advanced algorithms to optimize fuel consumption in real time. Durante practical evaluations on highways, a vehicle from the Emgrand line equipped with the new product reached the mark of 2.22 liters for every 100 kilometers traveled. The automaker confirmed that the index set a new world record validated by Guinness.
The development focuses on improving the thermal and operational efficiency of conventional electrified automobiles. Onboard Sensores monitor continuous external variables, including ambient temperature, humidity levels and route altitude. The architecture’s processing capacity allows dynamic adjustments to the traction modules. The company’s Executivos plans to immediately apply the system to several production lines this year.

Integração artificial intelligence in power management
The i-CMA architecture acts as the operational core of the new technology. Ela centralizes steering, braking and force distribution commands in a single control module. The software evaluates road conditions before deciding which engine should drive the wheels. Fast Respostas avoids wasting energy on steep slopes. The system prioritizes the use of batteries in dense urban traffic scenarios.
Engenheiros programmed the electronic control unit to learn the driver’s driving patterns. Continuous mapping creates acceleration profiles that reduce the strain on the combustion engine. The kinetic recovery during braking underwent specific calibrations to increase the recharge rate, transforming the energy dissipated in the brake discs into usable electricity. Veículos equipped with i-HEV can travel up to 66 km/h using exclusively electric propulsion in favorable terrain conditions.
Especificações technical and mechanical assembly performance
The internal combustion block developed for the project achieved a thermal efficiency of 48.41%. The index received technical certification as one of the highest among large-scale manufactured propellants in the global industry. The auxiliary electrical component provides a maximum power of 230 kW to the system. The combination of the two energy sources guarantees immediate responses to the accelerator pedal. The car accelerates from 0 to 30 km/h in just 1.84 seconds.
The balance between performance and economy required structural modifications to the vehicles’ chassis. Lighter Materiais make up the battery casing and motor mounts. The weight reduction compensates for the addition of new processing modules.
- Motor combustion with certified thermal efficiency of 48.41%.
- Consumo 2.22 liters per 100 kilometers on the Emgrand model.
- Electric Propulsor capable of generating up to 230 kW of maximum power.
- Initial Aceleração from 0 to 30 km/h recorded in 1.84 seconds.
- Operação in all-electric mode at speeds of up to 66 km/h.
The numbers presented place the platform in a competitive position compared to the standards required by strict environmental legislation. The smooth transition between engines occurs without noticeable jolts in the cabin. The acoustic insulation received reinforcements to minimize noise when the gasoline engine starts operating.
Estratégia expansion and models confirmed to receive the update
The automaker has set an accelerated timeline for implementing the technology across its core portfolio. The Preface, Monjaro, Starray and Emgrand lines top the list of updates scheduled for the coming months. Production on an industrial scale began shortly after the official presentation of the project. The Preface i-HEV sedan has an estimated combined consumption of 3.98 liters per 100 kilometers, following the WLTC cycle criteria.
The Monjaro i-HEV sports utility vehicle records averages of 4.75 liters per 100 kilometers under the same test parameters. The results show significant leaps in efficiency when compared to previous generations of the same cars. The fifth iteration of the Emgrand family will serve as a technological showcase to attract consumers focused on low running costs. Concessionárias prepare specific training for sales and maintenance teams.
Brand Posicionamento on Brasil and competition in the automotive sector
The Brazilian market is part of the Asian manufacturer’s global expansion route, especially given the increased demand for electrified vehicles in the country. Geely maintains operations in the national territory through strategic agreements signed with Renault. The partnership makes it possible to adapt products to the demands of local drivers and facilitate distribution logistics. Recentemente, the company introduced the compact EX2 Pro to the Brazilian market. The model powered exclusively by batteries delivers a range of 289 kilometers and costs from R$123,800.
The arrival of advanced hybrid systems complements the offer of purely electric vehicles. Especialistas from the automotive sector in Xangai assess that the technology serves regions with incipient charging infrastructure. The driver does not depend on public outlets to keep the car running. The proposal directly confronts the historical dominance of Japanese conglomerates. Toyota Prius inaugurated the segment in 1997 and established the parameters followed by the industry since then.
Perspectivas market and adoption of new vehicle architectures
Geely’s sales volume reached 4.11 million units sold throughout 2025. Commercial performance supports billion-dollar investments in research and development of new modes of transport, consolidating the brand’s presence on multiple continents. The incorporation of artificial intelligence into powertrains reflects a paradigm shift in mechanical engineering. The software takes the lead in calibrating components that previously depended on physical adjustments.
The flexibility of the architecture allows for over-the-air updates to improve energy management throughout the life of the automobile. The data package collected by thousands of cars on the streets feeds the company’s servers. The processed information generates continuous improvements in the injection and traction algorithms. The first commercial batches equipped with the i-HEV will arrive in stores throughout 2026. International distribution will follow a phased schedule according to demand in each region.
The production infrastructure in the factories underwent severe adaptations to accommodate the assembly of new electronic modules. High-precision Robôs took over the welding of the electrical contacts that connect the combustion engine to the main generator. Quality control uses laser scanning to check the integrity of connections before vehicle release. The standardization of manufacturing processes ensures that the efficiency rates obtained in approval tests are repeated in cars delivered to end consumers.
