As the Philippine automotive market navigates a transition toward electrification, Geely has introduced its Global Electric Architecture (GEA), a vehicle platform designed to integrate electric powertrains with advanced digital systems.

The company said the GEA is a modular architecture that combines hardware, software, ecosystem connectivity, and artificial intelligence into a unified system. Geely described the platform as a major investment in its next-generation vehicle development strategy.

By moving away from traditional, the GEA platform uses a centralized electronic and electrical structure designed to support intelligent vehicle functions and over-the-air software updates.

Electronic and electrical architecture

While conventional fuel vehicles operate using multiple independent control modules, the GEA incorporates the GEEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture.

By integrating 14 traditional control modules into just two centralized units, Geely has created a central super brain. This system utilizes an Ethernet backbone with transmission speeds of 100 Mbps.

This shift allows for faster data transmission and quicker intelligent responses, providing a digital architecture capable of supporting connected vehicle features.

Power meets structural intelligence

It is designed from the ground up to balance electric drive systems with high-efficiency internal combustion range extenders.

Geely said engines developed for this platform can achieve thermal efficiency as high as 46.5 percent, ensuring that every drop of energy is utilized.

Because the architecture is modular, it supports various drive configurations while incorporating an integrated 11-in-1 electric drive unit. This integration—combining the motor, electronic control, and transmission into one compact housing—reduces weight and lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity, significantly enhancing cornering control and stability.

Cabin and structural safety

Beyond the drivetrain, the GEA platform enables a high-resolution display systems and integrated audio technologies, including the Flyme Sound system, with headrest-mounted speakers.

Safety is fundamentally integrated by way of Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology, where the battery is built directly into the structure of the architecture itself. Geely said this design protects the energy cells during collisions and significantly increases torsional rigidity, reaching up to 31,000 Nm/deg.

About Geely Motor Philippines Corporation (GMP)

Geely entered the Philippine market in 2019 and has gained the trust of 30,000 local users through high-value products such as the Coolray and Okavango. Starting in 2025, Geely Motor Philippines Corporation, a direct subsidiary of Geely Auto Group, officially began its direct operations in the country. Based in Makati City, Geely Motor Philippines Corporation aims to provide more convenient vehicle services to local customers by building a more efficient sales network, after-sales service system, dealer support, warehousing, and logistics infrastructure.
