Geely or Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd, a Chinese automaker headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, announced the launch of its new car brand called “Galaxy” this week. It said that under the company’s new sub-brand, it is planning to release seven electrified car models by the year 2025.
Geely said that Galaxy would be its new luxury line and these will feature the latest technologies available. The company said on Thursday, Feb. 23, that in the next two years, it would drop its first few premium models.
Of the seven EVs of the Geely Galaxy brand, three of them will be pure electric vehicles, while the other four units will be hybrid models. As per Reuters, the carmaker will deliver the long-range Galaxy L7 hybrid SUV and L6 hybrid sedan within the second and third quarters of this year, while the pure electric Galaxy E8 model is set to be delivered in the last quarter. The E8 will be part of the brand’s Galaxy E series.
As mentioned in AutoCar, this E8 EV is likely to be the model that was already introduced via a preview. It is a sleek car that is said to be similar to the Porsche Taycan in terms of physical features. Its interior is fitted with the latest technology functions, and the doors open in butterfly style. Some of the technologies mentioned include the Nordthor 8848 hybrid powertrain, Aegis battery safety system, and Galaxy N-Operating software.
“The Galaxy series will be the first by the brand to utilize the Geely’s Aegis battery safety system which offers the highest level of user protection and peace of mind throughout the lifespan of the battery unit,” Geely stated in a press release.
The company added, “The battery safety system has taken the lead in protecting against direct impacts to the battery during crash situations. In tandem with the vehicle’s Wise Star Cloud Connected Central Computing System, the Aegis system can accurately predict and pre-empt thermal runaways and other situations, increasing battery life by 20%.”
