Geely's new testing center sets world records for vehicle safety
Geely launches a 2 billion yuan safety center in Hangzhou Bay, setting 5 Guinness World Records and offering 24/7 testing for automakers to advance vehicle safety standards.
Geely has launched a new high-tech testing and safety center in China's Hangzhou Bay area. The facility cost around 2 billion yuan (approximately £215 million) to build. It began operations in late 2025 and has already set five Guinness World Records, including the world's longest indoor crash test track.
Spanning 45,000 square meters, the complex integrates 27 types of tests for passenger and commercial vehicles, meeting regulatory standards in China, Europe, the U.S., and other regions. It conducts crash tests at speeds up to 120 km/h, along with rain, snow, and fog simulations, active safety system evaluations, and cybersecurity assessments.
The center operates 24/7 and is open to other automakers. Geely emphasizes that the project aims to make safety a common industry standard rather than a competitive edge for any single company. Equipped with climatic and altitude wind tunnels, it can simulate temperatures from -40 to +60 degrees Celsius and altitudes up to 5,200 meters. This technology is expected to accelerate the development of new vehicle models.
