Geely announced this week the new lineage of electric trucks. The model named Homtruck is being produced by Farizon Auto, which has finally made its new generation of intelligent battery-powered semi-trailers public. Geely promised that the Homtruck model will be one of the most technologically advanced vehicles powered by clean energy on the market, and production and deliveries of the Geely Homtruck are expected to begin in early 2024. It is already possible to say that the Homtruck will be a major rival to the Tesla Semi lineage.

The architecture of Geely’s electric truck has several powertrain options, range extender, methanol hybrid, and fully electric, in addition to the battery swap option, which will allow the Homtruck to be recharged at service stations on the highways in a few minutes.

Although the technical specifications have not yet been released, Geely has provided very few details about its new electric truck, such as advancements in sustainable powertrains, a high-efficiency system focused on driver safety, and that of pedestrians.

The engineers at Farizon Auto have conducted numerous studies on the needs of independent commercial vehicle drivers and fleet operators, and based on this, have created and refined hardware and software solutions that will provide greater efficiency in the fleet.

Homtruck’s Logistics Is Unlike Anything In The Automotive Market

The electric truck is capable of connecting to data storage platforms in the logistics network, in order to assist drivers in obtaining optimized orders in real-time, analyzing and tracking deliveries, as well as calculating operational costs during routes.

Each sensor installed in the electric truck is used to perform real-time traffic data analysis and also to receive recommendations for the best routes.

According to Geely, the Homtruck will be fully capable of managing Level 4 autonomous driving functions, called “hands-free,” all thanks to sensors and ultrasonic radar, in addition to 5G connection and V2X.

A curiosity is that the vehicle’s name suggests a semi-trailer so that the driver feels at home. The speculation at the moment is that the space inside the Homtruck is designed for work, relaxation, and entertainment, fulfilling the essential needs of the driver and other passengers.

Interior Of The Vehicle

Regarding the interior of Geely’s electric truck, it features a living area, such as a living room and a bathroom with a shower and WC, a single bed, a kitchen with a fridge, coffee machine, and other utensils, as well as a small washing machine.

The Homtruck features ergonomically designed seating in the driving area and a smart AI assistant equipped with 360° high-definition cameras, which support the driver regarding potential risks that may occur outside the vehicle, whether it is moving or not.

It can be said that the newest competitor to the Tesla Semi offers a pleasant and comfortable environment, providing a unique experience. In addition, the vehicle’s interior is entirely inspired by Chinese bamboo forests, with soft and recyclable fabrics and materials.
