Geely Galaxy E5 Surpasses Global Safety Standards with Record 50km/h Crash Test
On April 16, at the TECCON Laboratory in Austria, an institution accredited by Euro NCAP, the Geely Galaxy E5 successfully completed an 'ultra-rigorous' 50km/h frontal center pole impact test. Previously, the Geely Galaxy E5 had already earned the highest safety ratings of 'Five Stars' from both Euro NCAP and ANCAP, reaffirming that under the protection of the Shendun Battery Safety System, Geely Galaxy products deliver 'safety for global users, five-star quality for global users.'
Currently, there are no mandatory regulations for frontal center pole impact tests worldwide, and the industry typically adopts a 35km/h testing standard. Geely Galaxy E5 opted for a far more rigorous 50km/h test, where impact energy is 104% higher. The final test results demonstrated that the E5 met all requirements across various dimensions including functional performance, body structure, new energy source safety, and occupant protection after the 50km/h frontal center pole impact, marking the test a complete success. Additionally, the vehicle's airbags deployed correctly, contact between the airbags and the dummies' heads was normal, seatbelts pre-tensioned as expected, and injury values for all body parts of the two dummies met or exceeded the thresholds for full scores in Euro NCAP's rigid wall impact scenarios.
The Geely Galaxy E5's 'beyond-standard' safety performance is largely attributed to the Shendun Battery Safety System. Since its launch in 2023, Geely Galaxy has conducted a series of public tests covering cell-level, battery pack-level, and full-vehicle-level evaluations of the Shendun Battery Safety System through models like the E5, L6, L7, and E8. Each ultra-rigorous safety test has been passed with flying colors, far exceeding industry standards, and has delivered high-standard, high-performance experiences of 'equality in safety' to consumers across mainstream NEV segments.
Over nearly three decades of automotive manufacturing, Geely has consistently adhered to a 'safety-first' development strategy. In the past decade alone, Geely's R&D investment has exceeded RMB 200 billion, gradually establishing an industry-leading safety development system.
As a leader in automotive safety, Geely is set to release a white paper this year focusing on comprehensive all-domain safety standards for smart vehicles. This initiative aims to redefine the benchmarks for smart vehicle safety, openly sharing cutting-edge safety technology advancements, and ensuring the utmost safety for every user's journey.

'Outstanding' new electric SUV achieves record-breaking safety score: 'We've raised the bar for ourselves'
Electric car manufacturer Lynk & Co. International recently shattered records with the highest-ever Euro NCAP safety score for a compact SUV, CleanTechnica reported. The European New Car Assessment Programme is an independent nonprofit organization that tests and rates automobiles on a five-star safety system. And Lynk & Co.'s 02, a fully electric compact SUV with a 200-kilowatt engine, clinched the spot as the safest vehicle in its class in 2025. "With outstanding results across all assessment categories — including the highest-ever recorded rating of 89% for Safety Assistance — the 02 is setting a new safety benchmark in its segment," CleanTechnica stated. The vehicle also achieved "outstanding" scores in Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, and Vulnerable Road User Protection. "Safety has always been a core pillar of our product strategy, and with the Lynk & Co. 02, we've raised the bar for ourselves — and for the entire segment," vice president of product and strategy David Green said in a news release. "This recognition reinforces our commitment to building vehicles that are not only innovative and sustainable but also among the safest on the road." Another often overlooked aspect of vehicular safety is air pollution, both inside and outside of the car — but it's one category wherein all electric vehicle models excel. That's because these vehicles don't burn oil for fuel, so they don't release the polluting gases that have been linked with severe health impacts and global heating. To put it in perspective, one MIT study found that diesel-burning cars emit nearly twice as much pollution per mile over their lifetimes than EVs — a difference of 350 grams of carbon dioxide per mile to 200. In addition to improved health and safety, many drivers are choosing to upgrade to EVs for the ease of ownership and lower costs. Since EVs don't have engines, they need far less expensive maintenance over their lifetimes. And obviously, they have no associated gasoline costs. Making the switch is a particularly savvy move for those with home solar panels, as charging a car with solar power brings both car and energy costs down to near zero. If you're interested in getting a quote from a vetted local installer, the free tools at EnergySage are a great place to start — using them helps the average person save up to $10,000 on a solar installation. Would you be more likely to get an EV if it came with a free home charger?

INVESTOR ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Geely Automobile Holdings Limited – GELYF; GELYY
NEW YORK, Aug. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Geely Automobile Holdings Limited ('Geely' or the 'Company') (OTCMKTS: GELYF; GELYY). Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980, ext. 7980. The investigation concerns whether Geely and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices. [Click here for information about joining the class action] On July 19, 2025, Reuters published an article reporting that Geely's premium electric vehicle brand 'Zeekr inflated sales in recent years to hit aggressive targets,' citing 'documents reviewed by Reuters and interviews with dealers and buyers.' The article reported that Zeekr 'arranged for cars to be insured before they were sold to buyers, . . . enabling them under Chinese industry car registration practices to book sales early so they could hit the monthly and quarterly targets[.]' On this news, the value of Geely securities fell sharply, damaging investors. Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, Pomerantz pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 85 years later, Pomerantz continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.

Polestar Nearly Dead In China
Did you sell your car in April or May? If you did, then you sold more cars than automaker Polestar did in China during the same period. The all-electric brand is in dire shape in the country, only shifting a grand total of 69 cars in the first half of 2025, and none at all in those two months. None, as in zero. Polestar's former parent company, Volvo, has been owned by the Chinese automotive company Geely Holding Group since 2010, but that hasn't led to home court advantage in the world's largest car market. That might be because Polestar has essentially wound down operations, as CarNewsChina lays out. It only has one store in the whole country, in Shanghai, and Chinese customers are no longer able to order online. Test drives are by appointment only. Its joint venture with local company Star Meizu folded in April. That sure sounds like the carmaker was withering on the vine and was forced to scope down to almost nothing, which in turn reduced sales. It's a vicious cycle. This is all despite the fact that EVs are booming in China. Or maybe it's because of it, as the competition Polestar faces, especially from domestic manufacturers, is stiff. Unless something pretty dramatic happens, Polestar might not even be in that market much longer. Read more: These Are What You Wanted As First Cars (And What You Got Instead) But The Rest Of The World Is All Sweet News Yes, things are pretty bad for the EV maker, which just suffered... a 51% year-over-year growth in the first half of 2025 and just received a further $200 million equity investment from Geely? Turns out, even though China is shutting the door on it, Polestar is doing great everywhere else. It moved a total of 30,319 cars worldwide in that window. Not exactly huge numbers, but it's a newer brand, and that growth curve is looking mighty fine. In fact, Polestar isn't alone with such mixed fortunes. Porsche just had its best H1 in America ever, at the exact same time that sales in China declined by 28%. It's looking like foreign carmakers are having difficulties in the country more generally. In the meantime, Polestar does have some new products on the horizon. The Polestar 4 crossover is already on sale in the U.S., with deliveries coming in the next few months. There are plenty of products coming down the pike as well; the Polestar 5 is a forthcoming sedan, the Polestar 6 will be a roadster, on the Polestar 7 will be a compact SUV. Combined with a new strategy tied to a traditional dealership model, there are a lot of reasons to think that the company has a bright future ahead of it, except in China. Want more like this?
