Auto China 2026: Geely Auto unveils EVA Cab robotaxi prototype


BEIJING: At Auto China 2026, Geely Auto together with Afari Technology, and CaoCao Mobility jointly unveiled China’s first purpose-built robotaxi prototype, the EVA Cab.

Geely’s full technology ecosystem was also put on display with innovations such as AI embodied bipedal robots, the world's first full-stack 900V high-voltage hybrid architecture, 12C ultra-fast charging technology, solid-state batteries, intelligent cockpits, and future intelligent assisted driving solutions designed for mobility services.

A demonstrator of Geely’s “Full-Domain AI 2.0” framework, the EVA Cab robotaxi prototype features wide-opening electric sliding doors paired with a face-to-face cabin layout.

The EVA Cab comes equipped with a host of industry-leading technologies developed by Geely.


These include the world’s first "Quantum-Level AI Electronic and Electrical Architecture," the world’s first 2160-line digital LiDAR system, and the industry’s first mass-production-ready L4-level assisted driving software solution.

Geely’s "Quantum-Grade AI Electrical/Electronic Architecture" — EEA 4.0 — empowers Eva Cab.

Leveraging quantum encryption technology, EEA 4.0 establishes end-to-end, quantum-grade security protection across both vehicle and cloud platforms, covering a wide range of high-frequency application scenarios such as Bluetooth keys, remote vehicle control, OTA (over-the-air) updates, and data privacy.

The vehicle also features the industry-first SOVD (Service-Oriented Vehicle-Cloud Integrated Diagnostics) technology creating a proactive protection system for users that spans the vehicle's entire lifecycle.

Also, Geely has become the first global automaker to obtain the ISO 8800 AI Safety certification, setting a new benchmark for intelligent safety standards.

Eva Cab is also equipped with the industry's most powerful in-vehicle computing platform.

It integrates three flagship chips — the Nvidia SuperChip, Nvidia Thor U, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8397 — delivering a combined computing power exceeding 3,000 TOPS.

This abundant computing power has boosted the parameter count sevenfold and inference frame rate threefold of the WAM (World Action Model) — more than sufficient to meet the computational demands of L4 autonomous driving and extreme driving scenarios.

For visual hardware, the EVA Cab features the world's first 2,160-line digital LiDAR system, boasting ultra-high imaging capabilities of 25.92 million points per second and a detection range extending up to 600 meters.

Additionally, the vehicle also utilises the industry's first mass-produced L4-level assisted driving software solution — Geely’s Afari G-ASD L4 — enabling fully unmanned shuttle services on open public roads.

Geely Auto Group is scheduled to launch the "CaoCao Mobility" customised edition of EVA Cab in 2027 and accelerate the large-scale deployment and commercialisation of robotaxi services.

Geely has already spent years developing the shared mobility market through its subsidiary, CaoCao Mobility.

In the robotaxi sector, Geely has already successfully conducted pilot operations for over a year in cities such as Hangzhou and Suzhou.
