PARIS, May 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Geely Starray EM-i has completed a beyond-compliance, dual-sided serial extreme crash test at France\u2019s Euro NCAP-accredited UTAC headquarters. The vehicle\u2019s exceptional performance directly validated Geely’s leading vehicle safety architecture and its systemic engineering depth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Geely Auto was the sole automaker selected to conduct a live safety demonstration during the “Automotive Safety Tech Globalization & Innovation in the Smart Driving Era” summit, co-hosted by the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd. (CAERI) and UTAC. As Europe’s first-ever side-impact test combined with a far-side rigid pole intrusion challenge, this test goes far beyond the current Euro NCAP side-impact protocol, compounding the test\u2019s severity to replicate real-world multi-vehicle chain collisions.<\/p>\n

During the test, a moving deformable barrier strikes the side of the vehicle at 60 km\/h, pushing it into a rigid pole positioned on the opposite side, creating a second high-severity impact comparable to a side pole crash. It puts an extreme test on the vehicle\u2019s structural integrity, millisecond-level airbag deployment algorithms, and NEV battery system protection. The results confirmed that the Geely STARRAY EM-i maintained an intact passenger cell after the collision. The restraint systems were deployed with pinpoint precision, the e-CALL emergency rescue system triggered instantly, and the doors unlocked automatically.<\/p>\n

Spanning nearly three decades of automotive manufacturing, Geely Auto has steadfastly adhered to its core philosophy of \u201cConsumer First, Safety First\u201d. Geely Auto has fused full-domain AI technology to enhance its Comprehensive Safety System 2.0. This evolution shifts the focus from traditional \u201cvehicle-centric safety\u201d to an ecosystem-wide perspective encompassing \u201cPeople-Vehicle-Road-Cloud-Satellite\u201d, anchoring four distinct zero-accident mobility visions.<\/p>\n

Through sustained R&D investments, Geely Auto has built deep technological barriers. Propelled by uncompromising quality, Geely Auto has secured top ratings in 80 global authoritative safety assessments, with various models securing prestigious five-star ratings across C-NCAP, Euro NCAP, ANCAP, ASEAN NCAP, and C-IASI. Geely Auto has also opened up critical safety patents to the public, including its one-touch window-breaking technology and underbody battery protection systems, while making its Safety Center resources accessible to industry peers.<\/p>\n
