Maple Leaf Motors belongs to Geely New Energy. Below is a detailed introduction to Maple Leaf Motors: Brand Introduction: Maple Leaf Motors is positioned as a popularizer of pure electric mobility, dedicated to the innovative research and development of pure electric vehicles. Centered on design concepts such as environmental friendliness, technological fashion, safety and reliability, and durability, it provides users with cost-effective pure electric products and efficient battery-swapping technology, aiming to make pure electric vehicles the preferred means of transportation for the public and to establish green mobility as a mainstream travel method in the new era, co-created and shared by all. Brand Portfolio: (1) Maple Leaf 30X: The Maple Leaf 30X is the first mass-produced model under the Maple Leaf Motors brand, a small pure electric SUV with dimensions of 4005*1760*1575mm (length*width*height) and a wheelbase of 2480mm. Its NEDC range is 306 kilometers.

Over the years as I've followed the automotive industry's development, Maple Leaf Motors is indeed a new energy brand under Geely. Geely Auto Group invested in establishing Maple Leaf specifically for electric vehicle R&D and production. Why did Geely create this new brand? Mainly to cover a broader consumer base - while Geely's own brand targets the premium segment, Maple Leaf follows an affordable approach, offering economical EV models like the Maple Leaf X30 Pro. By sharing Geely's technology platform, Maple Leaf has significantly improved in battery and safety performance. When consumers buy Maple Leaf vehicles, they can access Geely's after-sales network without worrying about maintenance difficulties common with smaller manufacturers. This is a smart strategy that gives Geely an edge in the new energy competition. I believe this brand architecture can provide more affordable options and accelerate EV adoption.
