Geely boosts NVIDIA partnership to build AI-driven mobility ecosystem

Chinese carmaker Geely Auto Group is expanding its strategic partnership with NVIDIA across physical AI, enterprise AI and industrial AI, as it moves to build a full-chain intelligent mobility ecosystem, a senior executive said.

In autonomous driving, Geely's G-ASD system will integrate NVIDIA's Alpamayo, Cosmos and NuRec technologies to enhance development, simulation and validation efficiency, said Li Chuanhai, chief technology officer of Geely Auto Group.

Li said the company also plans to develop and commercialize robotaxis based on NVIDIA's DRIVE AGX Hyperion autonomous vehicle architecture, with the aim of improving generalization capabilities and safety redundancies in complex driving scenarios.

Earlier, NVIDIA said leading automakers including BYD, Geely, Isuzu and Nissan are developing Level 4 autonomous driving programs based on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform, with Chinese carmakers accounting for half of its partners.

"Geely's strategic synergy with NVIDIA represents a core practice of our open AI ecosystem," Li said during NVIDIA's GTC 2026 conference in San Jose, California, on Tuesday.

"This is not simply a collaboration between an automaker and a chipmaker, but a deep partnership aimed at jointly defining the next-generation technological foundation for intelligent mobility in the era of physical AI," he said.

In terms of cloud and AI infrastructure, Geely said it will leverage NVIDIA's AI supercomputing platform, Nemotron models, NeMo software and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise suite to advance its AI capabilities, including agentic AI, while upgrading its cloud and enterprise infrastructure.

The collaboration also extends to industrial AI, covering the deployment of Vision AI agents, factory automation based on NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, as well as AI-driven industrial design and computer-aided engineering workflows, Li said.
