Geely’s Farizon Auto launches ‘GXA-T’ digital architecture for new energy heavy-duty trucks

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On May 30, Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group ("Farizon Auto"), as part of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, introduced the digital intelligence architecture “GXA-T” dedicated to new energy heavy-duty trucks, and launched the “Xinghan (Chinese Pinyin)” G Series heavy-duty trucks built on the fire new architecture.

The new vehicles were delivered to the Asian Games support fleet on the same day, to be used for logistical support work during the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022.

Meanwhile, Farizon Auto signed a strategic cooperation agreement with two companies to start the market launch process for the Xinghan G Series new energy heavy-duty trucks.

With the transformation of energy and technology, the core of new energy heavy-duty trucks has undergone a revolutionary change. Based on the company's "space-ground integrated" zero-carbon intelligent logistics solution for all scenarios, heavy-duty trucks are no longer just transportation modules but intelligent mobile terminals for smart logistics, said Farizon Auto. The traditional hardware and software levels of heavy-duty truck platforms can no longer meet the developing demands.

Farizon Auto added it has made great efforts to create the GXA super-sensing architecture dedicated to new energy commercial vehicles, where two sub-architectures have been derived from: the GXA-T for trucks and the GXA-M for VANs.

Amid the initial development of the GXA-T architecture, it was designed with scene compatibility, clearly defining the relationship between powertrain forms, energy, and logistics, said the company. The powertrain form must not only comply with the trend of energy transformation, but also meet the logistics industry's demands for cost reduction and efficiency improvement. One of its core features is its compatibility with different energy types to meet users' energy needs in different scenarios.

Based on the two major new energy routes of "pure electric + methanol," Farizon Auto also introduced three green power solutions at the unveiling ceremony: the Xinghan G super electric heavy-duty truck, which is suited for short-haul and regional trunkline operations; the Xinghan G super methanol-electric hybrid heavy-duty truck designed as a medium and long-haul MEV solution with a range exceeding 1,500 kilometers;  the Xinghan G methanol-hydrogen-electric integrated heavy-duty truck.
