Chinese Automaker Geely Gets First EU Approval for Smart Driving Tech

Friday, March 13, 2026 at 5:36 AM

Geely has become the first Chinese automaker to receive European Union certification for its advanced driving assistance technology. The approval allows vehicles with Geely's G-ASD system to be sold in certain EU countries without requiring additional regulatory approval.

A major milestone has been reached in the automotive technology sector as Geely, the Chinese car manufacturer, secured European Union approval for its intelligent driving assistance technology on Friday.

The company’s G-ASD smart driving system has become the first Chinese-developed driver assistance technology to gain certification under European Union regulations for advanced automated driving features, according to a statement from Geely Holding.

This regulatory approval means that automobiles featuring Geely’s G-ASD technology can now be marketed and sold across select European Union member nations without requiring any additional certification processes from those individual countries.

The certification represents a significant breakthrough for Chinese automotive technology in the competitive European market, where safety and technology standards are particularly stringent.
