Geely Releases SEA Vast Intelligent Evolution Experience Architecture, Lynk & Co’s Pure Electric Concept Car Launches

Last night, Geely Automobile Group officially released SEA’s vast, intelligent evolution experience architecture (Sustainable Experience Architecture). At the same time, the ZERO concept, the first pure electric luxury coupe concept based on this architecture, made its public debut and will be mass-produced in 2021.　

The vast architecture is a pure electric original architecture with user travel experience as the core. It builds a three-dimensional layout with hardware layer, system layer and ecological layer. It has the world’s largest bandwidth and is the world’s most efficient smart electric vehicle solution. Through technological innovation in six major fields, it creates a highly customized and growing zero-boundary intelligent travel experience for global users.

The Vast Architecture is an important achievement of Geely’s technological transformation from an automaker to a mobility service provider, marking Geely’s entry into the system advancement stage of smart electric vehicles. At present, based on the Vast Architecture, more than 7 brands have started research and development of a total of more than 16 new models, laying out different market segments. Mr. An Conghui, President of Geely Holding Group, CEO and President of Geely Automobile Group, said: "According to the existing plan, starting from 2021, a variety of new models based on the Vast Architecture will be launched on the market one after another. 2021 will be a year of full speed for Geely’s technological transformation and smart electric vehicle development."

1. Six major areas have been released, and the vast architecture has injected powerful genes into smart electric vehicles

After 4 years and investing more than 18 billion yuan, Haohan Architecture builds a three-dimensional layout with hardware layer, system layer and ecological layer. It has the world’s largest bandwidth and realizes full-size coverage from A-class cars to E-class cars, which can meet all styling needs such as cars, SUVs, MPVs, small city cars, sports cars, pickups and future travel vehicles. At the same time, Haohan Architecture is the world’s most efficient smart electric vehicle solution, redefining the R & D cycle of software vehicles, reducing the time for software development by more than 50%.

The vast architecture starts from the user’s travel experience in the era of intelligent electric vehicles, breaking the shackles of traditional vehicles in the six fields of space, three electricity, intelligence, autonomous driving, safety, and performance, and bringing users a zero-boundary intelligent travel experience.

• Space: Achieve full-size, full-type coverage from A-class cars to E-class cars

The vast architecture realizes a wheelbase range from 1800mm to 3300mm. Under the same body size, a larger interior space can be created. Not only does the space return to the user, but also better meets the user’s personalized needs for styling.

• Sandian: the world’s first 200,000 kilometers without attenuation, 2 million kilometers long-life power battery

The vast architecture adopts the new three power of electric drive, electric management and electric ecology. The world’s first NEDC has 200,000 kilometers without attenuation and 2 million kilometers of long-life power batteries. Among them, the NEDC with 110kWh modular CTP integrated battery pack has a battery life of more than 700 kilometers. A single motor can achieve a maximum power output of 475kW, equipped with a high-performance two-speed electric drive transmission independently developed, and the maximum wheel end-load torque can reach 8000Nm. In terms of charging rate, the maximum 800-volt high-voltage system that can be carried can be charged for 5 minutes and the battery life is 120 kilometers.

• Intelligence: The new SEA OS vehicle intelligent solution, full scene, full life cycle FOTA

The first SEA OS vehicle intelligent development system is based on the electronic and electrical architecture from three domains integration to central integration, and forms a complete development system through hardware software, software algorithms, cloud computing and application scenarios. Its core chip components will be independently developed in the future. At present, more than 4,000 API interfaces have been realized, which can realize FOTA in the whole scene and the whole life cycle.

• Autonomous driving: Fully autonomous driving capabilities are already available, and roads will be fully autonomous by 2025

The vast architecture adopts the technical route of advanced assisted driving, highly autonomous driving and fully autonomous driving, and already has the ability to meet fully autonomous driving. The full-scene and full-process functional modules built with dual redundancy standards meet the safety guarantee of the highest international safety level certification, and can realize the automatic driving functions of hands off, eyes off, autonomous parking, automatic lane change, and automatic navigation.

Personal vehicles based on the vast architecture will achieve a high degree of autonomy on structural roads in 2021. By 2023, achieve a high degree of autonomy on open roads. At the same time, intelligent transportation tools such as autonomous taxis developed on the vast architecture will be the first to achieve full autonomy on structural roads in 2022, and provide intelligent travel services in the core area of the 2022 Asian Games; before 2025, achieve full autonomy on open roads.

• Security: Global security concept, meeting global five-star security standards, taking the lead in deploying national secret chips

Haohan Architecture takes global security as a security benchmark, guarding nine major systems in the four domains of life domain, health domain, property domain and privacy domain. All products developed based on the architecture can meet global safety standards. In terms of three-power safety, 202 safety tests of battery packs + module cells have been conducted. Among them, the overall side column crash test, which is crucial to battery protection, ensures the safety performance of the structure with strict requirements that exceed international standards. In terms of user privacy and security protection, Haohan Architecture has been developed to meet the requirements of GDPR in the European and American markets, and has taken the lead in deploying national secret chips on 5G Tbox to ensure the information security of vehicle users.

• Performance: 50:50 weight distribution, 100 kilometers acceleration in less than 3 seconds

The vast architecture is centered on the battery and adopts an exclusive high-performance pure electric chassis, which not only has a low center of gravity, but also achieves a 50:50 front and rear counterweight balance. The products on the architecture can be equipped with a high-performance electric four-wheel drive system to achieve millisecond power distribution; the dual-motor layout of up to 600kW shortens the acceleration time of the product to less than 3 seconds.

2. Lynk & Co’s first smart electric vehicle ZERO concept world premiere

At this press conference, the first work based on the vast architecture is also the global debut of the brand’s first smart electric vehicle, the ZERO concept. The ZERO concept is positioned in a pure electric luxury coupe, with a length of nearly 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3 meters. In terms of intelligence, performance and luxury experience, it demonstrates the powerful creativity of the vast architecture for the transformation of future travel experience.

The ZERO concept has fully autonomous driving capability, which can provide full scene and full cycle FOTA; the new AI partner function will also make the journey full of fun of intelligent interaction. And based on the vast architecture "do not do boring smart electric vehicles", the ZERO concept can not only achieve NEDC battery life of more than 700 kilometers, but also rely on the ultimate electric drive system to make the 100-kilometer acceleration time less than 4 seconds, and the elk test result is greater than 80km/h. At the luxury experience level, the ZERO concept is equipped with a number of leading technologies such as a frameless design induction electric door and fully automatic air adjustment suspension, demonstrating its technological luxury attributes. In addition, exclusive high-end customized services will be launched to better meet the individual needs of smart electric vehicle users.

The production version based on the ZERO concept will be officially launched in 2021. Based on the talent of open co-creation and evolution of the vast architecture, more amazing performances beyond imagination will gradually unfold in front of everyone.
