The platforms underneath every AION: how they drive, and how they store the charge.
GAC develops both halves of the drivetrain in-house: the AEP 3.0 electric platform and Magazine Battery 2.0 on one side, the G/GS engine and GMC transmission platforms on the other.
The latest generation of GAC’s exclusive high-end electric platform, carrying the battery, the drive units and the chassis control as one structure.

New energy battery
Three technologies sit inside the pack: a heat-resistant electrode interface, a fire extinguishing system built into the cell, and cooling plates above and below it.
A super heat-resistant layer reduces the probability of a short circuit inside the cell.
A fire extinguishing board built into the pack triggers on its own and sprays where it is needed.
The cell is cooled from the top and the bottom at the same time.
Combustion
The G/GS engine platform spans 1.0 to 2.0 litres and combines 350-bar high-pressure direct injection, GAC’s GCCS combustion control system, exhaust gas recirculation, a water-cooled intercooler and a thermal management module.
Transmission
GAC builds manual, automatic and hybrid transmission platforms.
