Volvo-Parent Geely's Driver Assistance System Certified by EU
By Reuters | 09 Jun, 2026
Volvo-parent Geely has become the first Chinese carmakers to have its auxiliary driving system certified by the EU.
A driver assistance system developed by Geely has been certified to operate in the European Union, the first time a Chinese auxiliary driving system meets those standards, the automaker said in a statement.
Geely is one of many Chinese automakers moving to set up production in Europe to avoid tariffs and increasingly strict regulations on importing foreign-made cars.
• Geely said its G-ASD (Geely Afari Smart Driving) system has met the United Nations' UN R171 regulatory certification standards
• This certification is the unified access standard established by the EU for high-level Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS) and is regarded as the “passport” for such systems to be legally deployed on European roads
• Geely expects to launch the first model equipped with the system in Europe in 2026.
