The Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) is a global mid-size unibody automobile platform, developed by China Euro Vehicle Technology AB (CEVT), a Swedish subsidiary to Geely.
Development began in 2013 with the goal of producing a highly flexible vehicle platform. Only the distance between the centre of the front wheels and the pedal box is fixed, everything else can be configured to suit the intended vehicle design.
The platform debuted in August 2017 with the release of the Lynk & Co 01. The CMA platform configuration featured the four-cylinder 2 litre petrol and diesel engines, but also new 1.5-litre, three-cylinder engines with turbocharged and naturally aspirated variations. The platform will also accommodate a plug-in hybrid configuration capable of 180 bhp, supplemented by a 74 bhp electric motor.
Besides being used in Lynk, Volvo and Polestar, the platform is used in a handful of Geely models.
The Compact Modular Architecture platform is shared with Chinese startup company, Lynk & Co. The Lynk & Co 01 SUV will be the first of several Lynk & Co models to be underpinned by the CMA platform.
Volvo released its first fully electric car Polestar 2 based on the CMA platform in 2019.
