IN A NUTSHELL
  • 🚗 Geely’s Radar introduces a super hybrid pickup that combines cutting-edge hybrid technology with advanced IoT platforms.
  • ⚙️ The vehicle features an industry-first 3-speed dedicated hybrid transmission (3DHT), enhancing performance and fuel efficiency.
  • 🔋 Achieving a thermal efficiency of 44.26%, the hybrid system reduces fuel consumption by 21% compared to traditional gasoline-powered pickups.
  • 🌐 Adaptable configurations and IoT integration make the Radar suitable for diverse professional applications, including public security and infrastructure.

In a groundbreaking move, Geely’s latest innovation, the Radar super hybrid pickup, is set to revolutionize the automotive industry. With a focus on integrating cutting-edge hybrid technology into a segment traditionally dominated by internal combustion engines, Radar offers an impressive driving range exceeding 620 miles. This phenomenal vehicle aims to redefine what pickups can achieve, leveraging advanced energy and IoT platforms to enhance versatility and performance. As the automotive world watches closely, Geely’s Radar promises to set new standards for efficiency and capability, capturing the interest of enthusiasts and industry experts alike.

Omni Stack and Shuttle Platforms to Expand Hybrid Pickup Capabilities

Geely’s Radar pickup is not just another vehicle in the market; it represents a fusion of advanced technologies designed to transform the driving experience. Central to this innovation are the Omni Stack energy platform and Shuttle IoT system. These platforms are engineered to equip the Radar with multifunctional capabilities, making it a versatile tool for outdoor and off-road applications. Built on the M.A.P. platform, the Radar introduces Geely’s Thor EM hybrid system, which supports both pure electric and plug-in hybrid configurations.

A standout feature of the Radar is its industry-first 3-speed dedicated hybrid transmission (3DHT). This transmission allows for smooth transitions between driving modes, optimizing performance and efficiency. The system has undergone rigorous validation, achieving China’s S-grade hybrid system reliability certification. This certification is backed by comprehensive testing, including over 1,000 powertrain bench tests and 24.85 million miles of endurance driving.
