About Livan

Livan (also known as Livan Automotive or Ruilan Auto, is a Chinese electric vehicle brand headquartered in Chongqing and jointly established by Geely Holding Group and Lifan Technology in 2022. The brand was created following Geely's acquisition and restructuring of the financially troubled Lifan Motors, transforming it into a modern new energy automaker focused on intelligent, affordable, and battery swap capable EVs for both private and commercial use.

Livan's strategy centers on scalable electrification supported by battery swapping technology and shared vehicle platforms developed within the Geely ecosystem. The company's initial lineup includes the Livan 7, Livan 9, and Livan Maple 80V. The Livan 7, a compact crossover, serves as the brand's core passenger vehicle offering, featuring dual motor options, up to 450 kilometers of range, and a high efficiency battery system compatible with Geely's EVLink swap network. The Livan 9 is a larger crossover built for extended range comfort, while the Maple 80V continues as a fleet oriented model used in ride hailing and urban logistics.

A defining feature of Livan's technology is its integration with Qingdao Aulton New Energy, a leading battery swapping infrastructure provider. This partnership allows Livan vehicles to exchange depleted battery packs in under two minutes, dramatically reducing downtime and enabling high utilization rates for taxi and delivery fleets. The brand is also developing its own intelligent vehicle platform with support for OTA updates, connected diagnostics, and AI enhanced energy management.

Livan's vehicles are built using Geely's modular EV components, including motors, controllers, and e-axle assemblies, ensuring performance consistency and manufacturing efficiency. The company's design emphasizes simplicity, practicality, and digital minimalism, appealing to urban professionals and fleet operators seeking low maintenance, zero emission transport solutions. In addition to passenger EVs, Livan is developing small commercial vehicles optimized for battery swapping and shared mobility applications.

As of 2025, Livan operates as one of Geely's specialized new energy sub brands alongside Geometry, Zeekr, and LEVC, focusing specifically on battery swap innovation and intelligent service networks. The company plans to expand its swap station coverage nationwide and introduce new vehicle models across the 2025-2027 window to support both consumer and fleet markets.
