It is spread across three floors, among these the first floor of the wind tunnel facility measures 9,760.969 sq.m., the second floor 10,347.977 sq.m., and the 3rd floor 8,427.278 sq.m. It is capable of simulating real-road natural environments, including extreme temperatures and high altitudes.
The largest arbitrary-angle car crash test zone measures 12,709.293 sq.m. and is capable of conducting crash tests at any angle from 0 to 180 degrees, which can be achieved through a continuously adjustable track with an angle range of 0 to 180 degrees. Additionally, the 27 tests that achieved the record of the most tests available in an automaker's safety test laboratory include 11 vehicle-level tests, 7 system-level tests, 3 component-level tests, and 6 functional-level tests.

More Safety Tests
Geely has developed a series of 60 crash test dummies, backed by an investment of approximately 28.35 million USD, which represent various genders and age demographics. These dummies are used to gather data on parameters such as acceleration, displacement, and force during a collision, allowing for the accurate collection of crash metrics and the evaluation of safety measures.
In response to growing concerns about the safety of intelligent new energy vehicles, Geely's vehicle cybersecurity test facility conducts security assessments across a wide range of information, focusing on eight categories, including network security, vulnerability analysis, and AI safety.
