On April 25, 2025, at AUTO SHANGHAI 2025, Geely’s Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group (Farizon Auto) and Bosch Commercial Vehicle Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The partnership focuses on advancing methanol-hydrogen electric technologies, integrating core systems, and expanding into global markets. Together, they aim to create a comprehensive ecosystem for methanol-hydrogen electric solutions, encompassing clean energy development, technological innovation, and vehicle platform adaptation.

This agreement elevates their collaboration from individual projects to a broad strategic alliance. By combining Bosch’s extensive commercial vehicle technology solutions with Farizon Auto’s diverse product platforms, the companies seek to promote the adoption of new energy and alternative fuel technologies in the commercial vehicle industry. Their joint efforts will support the transition to sustainable transportation solutions worldwide.

Bosch, having restructured its commercial vehicle operations, has strengthened its capabilities by optimizing resources and integrating expertise across domains. The partnership will leverage Bosch’s advanced technologies, including electronic control systems for alternative fuel engines, electric drive assemblies, thermal management systems, pneumatic braking systems, and intelligent driving assistance tools. These will be integrated with Farizon Auto’s light-, medium-, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, which utilize pure electric, methanol-hydrogen electric, and fuel cell technologies. This collaboration aims to drive widespread use of innovative energy solutions in the commercial vehicle sector.

Farizon Auto and Bosch have been working together since 2022, successfully launching initiatives such as electric drive systems for heavy-duty trucks and methanol-hydrogen electric technologies. A Farizon Auto representative stated: “Our cooperation has rapidly progressed from development to market introduction, delivering reliable and efficient solutions.” This year, the companies plan to introduce high-voltage thermal management systems, electric drive axles, and fuel cell systems for heavy-duty vehicles, enhancing energy efficiency, braking safety, and vehicle reliability.

Under the expanded partnership, Farizon Auto and Bosch will accelerate the deployment of intelligent electric and methanol-hydrogen electric commercial vehicles. A Bosch spokesperson noted: “This collaboration strengthens our shared commitment to sustainable innovation in the commercial vehicle market.” In the second half of 2025, the first batch of 1,000 jointly developed new energy commercial vehicles is set to be introduced in domestic and international markets, marking a significant step toward greener transportation solutions.
