Geely's 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive Debuts on Geely TT
The 800V system integrates core drive components into a single 75 kg unit achieving 93.8% efficiency.
Geely Auto Group has unveiled the Geely 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive, an 800V electric drive system that will debut on the Geely TT.
What Happened
The system combines core drive hardware and functions in a single unit weighing 75 kg. Developed in collaboration with InfiMotion, the platform integrates drive components to simplify power transmission and reduce energy losses during delivery. According to Geely, the system's efficiency reaches 93.8% on the CLTC (China light-duty vehicle test cycle). In an efficiency challenge around Qinghai Lake, a Geely TT equipped with the system recorded measured energy consumption of 8.20 kWh/100 km. The company developed a 54-channel directional cooling design that it says lowers peak motor temperature by up to 15 degrees Celsius.
Why It Matters
For EV buyers and owners, higher drivetrain efficiency translates directly to better range from the same battery capacity. The 800V architecture allows lower current for a given power level, reducing resistive losses and heat in the powertrain—a factor that can affect long-term reliability. Geely's active lubrication system for the shaft and gear structure aims to maintain thermal stability under varying conditions.
The Bottom Line
The dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration produces 425 kW combined and enables zero-to-100 km/h acceleration in 3.8 seconds. Geely says the drive is engineered to a 5-million-kilometer durability target, validated at component, assembly, and vehicle levels.
