With a range of up to 2,390.5 km, Geely unveils the Thunder EM-i Super Electric Hybrid.

On October 30, Geely Auto Group officially launched its globally advanced next-generation super hybrid system—Thor EM-i Super Hybrid. Currently, the Thor EM Super Hybrid boasts two key technology platforms: the energy-efficient and high-performance Thor EM-P Super Hybrid, and the ultra-lean, long-range Thor EM-i Super Hybrid. Let’s dive deeper into the standout features of the Thor EM-i Super Hybrid.

The Leishen EM-i super hybrid system delivers innovations across multiple technological areas, including hybrid electric drive, high-efficiency combustion, intelligent AI, and redundant safety features. It boasts a newly developed, next-generation "Wind Dragon Tornado" ultra-efficient combustion system, achieving the world's highest thermal efficiency of 46.5% for mass-produced gasoline engines. Furthermore, the test vehicle equipped with the Leishen EM-i technology boasts an impressive range of 2,390.5 km while maintaining a fuel consumption as low as 2.62 L per 100 km. Notably, this engine also achieves cold starts using only methanol as a single fuel at temperatures as low as -35°C—eliminating the need for auxiliary fuels altogether.

Introducing the "Pure Electric 11-in-1" concept into the hybrid-electric domain, this solution emphasizes high-level integration: combining the P1+P3 motor, P1+P3 electric control unit, SiC stepless boost module, VCU, TCU, PDU, drivetrain, TMS thermal management system, and G-TCS active traction control system into a single compact unit. The motor achieves an efficiency as high as 98.02%, while the overall electric drive efficiency reaches up to 92.5%.

The Thunder EM-P super hybrid has already been widely adopted in high-performance models such as the Lynk & Co 07 (specs | price inquiry) and 08; meanwhile, the Thunder EM-i super hybrid will debut in vehicles like the Geely Galaxy Starship 7. Recently, the Thunder EM-P super hybrid is set to introduce a performance-enhanced version featuring dual motors on the rear axle, significantly boosting system power—and this advanced variant will be featured in Lynk & Co's latest model lineup.

The Thunder God EM-i super hybrid globally debuts with a silicon carbide boost module, enabling seamless multi-voltage optimization across the board for stable voltage boosting. At the same time, the P3 motor's power output is upgraded to 160kW, paired with the Shield-exclusive hybrid-dedicated battery, delivering an identical driving experience—whether fully charged or running low on battery.

The Thunder EM-i Super Electric Hybrid integrates AI technology into the powertrain, leveraging Geely’s integrated cloud-and-vehicle intelligent network as its foundation. It seamlessly combines real-time perception data with extensive mobility big data, harnessing the powerful computing capabilities of Geely’s Xingrui Intelligent Computing Center. By deploying advanced AI-driven prediction and decision-making algorithms, the system delivers three groundbreaking experiences: intelligent energy management, smart driving control, and cutting-edge cloud-based diagnostics.

Additionally, the system will utilize AI-powered intelligent power management, leveraging trajectory prediction to proactively identify users' dynamic needs in specific scenarios. This enables efficient energy storage, effectively addressing pain points such as excessive engine noise, weak driving performance—even stalling—during situations like traffic congestion or uphill climbs.
