Geely Intelligent New Energy Vehicle Safety Lab Advances

National Laboratory Targets Intelligent New Energy Vehicle Safety Standards

Geely intelligent new energy vehicle safety efforts are expanding through a newly established national quality standards laboratory in China. On September 16, Geely Automobile Research Institute announced that it, China Certification & Inspection Group Co., Ltd. (CCIC), and Beihang University had jointly initiated the laboratory's establishment. The facility is intended to support public-service technology innovation for intelligent new energy vehicles while creating an industry-wide technology and quality service platform. The initiative also seeks to build an integrated National Quality Infrastructure service base that connects government, industry, academia, research institutes, and end users.

Five Research Areas Define the Laboratory's Initial Focus

Over the next five years, the laboratory will concentrate on five areas covering driving safety, inherent safety, control safety, interaction safety, and health safety. Its work will include basic and applied research related to quality standards, development and promotion of those standards, and the attraction and cultivation of professionals specializing in quality standards. The initiative brings together Geely Automobile Research Institute, China Certification & Inspection Group Co Ltd, and Beihang University around a common research and standards-development framework for intelligent new energy vehicle safety.

Long-Term Goals Include Safety Testing and Evaluation System

Within ten years, the laboratory aims to deliver breakthroughs in core technologies supporting the quality and safety of intelligent new energy vehicles. Its longer-term objectives include establishing an all-domain safety testing and evaluation system, while developing both a public-service technology innovation platform and a technology and quality service platform dedicated to all-domain safety. The program therefore extends beyond individual testing activities toward a broader standards and evaluation framework. Its development in China is also designed to support coordinated participation across government, industry, academic institutions, research organizations, and end users.

Standards Development Will Support Broader Quality Infrastructure

The laboratory's planned activities combine research, standards development, standards application, testing and evaluation capabilities, and professional talent development. This structure is intended to create a shared technical foundation for addressing safety across multiple dimensions of intelligent new energy vehicles rather than focusing on a single vehicle function. The National Quality Infrastructure approach also emphasizes coordination among organizations with different roles in the vehicle ecosystem. As the work progresses, the laboratory is expected to use its research and service platforms to support the development and application of quality standards and strengthen technical resources for all-domain vehicle safety.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The laboratory could strengthen the quality and safety infrastructure surrounding intelligent new energy vehicles by connecting standards research, testing, evaluation, and industry application within a coordinated platform. Its five-year research program provides a defined framework for addressing driving, inherent, control, interaction, and health safety, while its ten-year objectives establish a longer horizon for core technology and evaluation-system development. The practical significance will depend on how successfully the participating institutions translate research into applicable standards and testing methods. The initiative may therefore become particularly relevant to manufacturers, certification organizations, researchers, regulators, and other participants involved in vehicle quality and safety.
