(SeaPRwire) – BEIJING, April 29, 2026 — During the Auto China 2026 event, JETOUR hosted a public “Fording Test” for the G700 (Ark Edition) in Beijing. Attended by prominent media from over 20 countries, the demonstration followed the vehicle’s successful 2025 crossing of the Yangtze River, highlighting the technical innovation and safety of China’s premium off-road vehicles.
True Fording, Not Just Wading
Wading is one of the most difficult challenges for rugged off-road vehicles. While traditional methods rely on passive protection like sealed chassis and high air intakes, JETOUR’s latest test represents a shift toward active, managed fording.
The G700 (Ark Edition) goes beyond the standard 970mm wading depth thanks to its GAIA Ark Tech. Using an independent fording system, the vehicle achieved controlled steering and movement on the water, proving its mastery of buoyancy and sealing. This capability addresses a major concern for off-roaders: the risk of engine failure or becoming stranded in deep water.
Observers described the demonstration as “paradigm-shifting.” Aymane Chadidi, a digital content creator from Morocco, noted, “Experiencing the G700 (Ark Edition) was impressive. The transition between land and water is seamless, and its stability is remarkable. Chinese automakers are setting new global safety standards with this level of protection.”
CEM-O System: The Tech Behind Amphibious Drive
The G700’s amphibious capability is powered by the GAIA architecture, specifically the CEM-O Amphibious Range-Extender.
Unlike standard hybrids, CEM-O features an 800V fording system. In navigation mode, the powertrain shifts energy from the wheels to dedicated water systems. IP68-rated waterproofing and an intelligent stability system manage buoyancy and control, ensuring the vehicle cruises effectively rather than just floating uncontrollably.
Superior All-Terrain Performance of GAIA Architecture
The G700 also performs exceptionally on land. Built on a professional off-road chassis, it features triple differential locks, 665kW of power, and modes like Tank Turns and Crab-Walk for better agility. It is positioned as a premium all-terrain off-roader that improves upon traditional designs.
The fording test validates JETOUR’s engineering strength. Rather than a gimmick, the aquatic capability serves as a test of the GAIA architecture’s reliability. This technological redundancy gives users confidence in extreme environments and pushes the boundaries of automotive engineering from land to water.
