Chinese automaker Geely has unveiled a self-developed driving unit demonstrated on the EX5 electric crossover prototype. 

The system integrates electric motors directly into the wheels, enabling far greater flexibility in how the vehicle moves compared to conventional drivetrains. 


In the prototype setup, four independent driving units were mounted directly inside the wheels, each capable of rotating up to 90 degrees. 



This configuration allows every wheel to steer and drive independently, unlocking a level of maneuverability not possible with conventional layouts. 

As a result, the Geely EX5 prototype can perform on-the-spot turns, move laterally, and park in extremely tight spaces before exiting them with ease.
