Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan for the clue delivery! On Friday, Geely's London Electric vehicle Company (LEVC) released a new large electric vehicle platform, the Spatial oriented Architecture (SOA,Space Oriented Architecture), which is suitable for passenger cars and trucks.

The platform was jointly developed by teams from China, Sweden, the UK and Germany and lasted two and a half years. It can provide longer mileage, fast charging and advanced driving assistance for electric vehicles, and is suitable for all types of electric vehicles, including pickups, large SUV and even RVs. And other companies owned by Geely can also use the platform.

However, executives did not disclose details such as which electric models LEVC will focus on first, when the new electric cars will go offline and where they will be built.

It is worth mentioning that earlier this year, LEVC said Geely planned to invest heavily in the famous London black taxi maker to transform it into a high-volume all-electric brand and launch a range of commercial and passenger vehicles. At present, however, the company says it is unable to provide updates on these plans.

Geely's brands include British sports car maker Lotus, Zeekr, Volvo and Polestar, a joint venture with Volvo, as well as the truck brand Farizon. As a result, Geely faces the challenge of too many sub-brands, which is avoided by big electric car makers BYD and Tesla.

However, Chris Allen, general manager of LEVC, said the brand was positioning itself within Geely to offer larger electric vehicles that "provide more space, more opportunities and more body flexibility".

It is understood that Geely acquired the lossmaking British Manganese Bronze Holdings Limited and its London taxi company in 2013, which was renamed "London Electric car Company" in 2017.
