Overview[edit]
Geely is a phonetic transliteration of the company's native name 吉利 (pinyin: Jílì),
which means "auspicious" or "propitious" in Chinese.[22]

Zhejiang Geely Holding Group was already manufacturing its own cars long before it
acquired the Swedish passenger car maker Volvo Cars from Ford Motor Company in
2010.[23] It completed the acquisition of British taxi maker London EV Company in
2013,[24] and acquired a majority stake in British sports carmaker Lotus in 2017.[25]

Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's business is divided into five sub-groups: Geely Auto
Group which includes the brands Geely Auto, Lynk & Co, Proton, and Lotus; Volvo Car
Group which includes the brands Volvo Cars and Polestar; Geely New Energy
Commercial Vehicle Group which include the brands London Electric Vehicle Company
and Yuan Cheng (Farizon); Geely Group (New Business) which includes the brands
Caocao, Terrafugia, Qianjiang Motorcycle, Joma, and other new businesses; and
Mitime Group (铭泰集团) which includes ZGH educational institutions, motorsports
business, and tourism business. Zhejiang Geely Holding Group has global operations
spanning the automotive value chain, from research, development and design to
production, sales and service.[26]

Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (吉利汽车; Jílì Qìchē) (SEHK: 175), a subsidiary of
Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.[27] On 13
February 2017, it became a constituent of the Hang Seng Index.[28]

History[edit]
Li Shufu founded Geely in 1986 as a refrigerator maker with money borrowed from
family.[22][29]

After the purchase of a failing, state-run firm,[30] Geely manufactured motorcycles in the
mid-1990s.[31] Small van production began in 1998,[32] and a year later, it received state
approval to manufacture automobiles.[32] Car production began in 2002.[29] A subsidiary of
the group, Geely Auto, had its IPO on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in 2004.[27]

The company had a booth at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show,[33] and a 2006 showing at
the Detroit auto show.[22]

Geely approached Ford in mid-2008 about a possible takeover of Volvo Cars. On

October 28, 2009, it was named as the preferred buyer of Volvo by the American
automaker.[34] A deal was reached in late March and completed in early August, 2010.[35]

In 2010, total sales of over 415,000 units gave the company a near 2% market
share.[36][37] Sales were lower than a reported 680,000 units per year production
capacity.[38]

In December 2011, it was announced that Geely would begin selling Chinese-designed
and -manufactured cars in the United Kingdom at the end of 2012, with the first model
to go on sale being the Emgrand EC7.[39][40] The company has also stated its intention to
begin sales in Italy.[41]

In May 2017, Geely confirmed plans to purchase a 51% controlling-stake in Lotus

Cars[42] from its owner, DRB-HICOM (Proton).[8] Additionally, Geely plans to purchase a
49.9% stake in PROTON Holdings, to facilitate future export growth in right-hand
drive markets.[10][43] The deals were seen as an important step for the Chinese carmaker
in their quest to make inroads into the lucrative ASEAN region.[25]

In July 2017 the company purchased Terrafugia, an American maker of flying cars.[44] In
November 2017, Geely announced completion of the Terrafugia acquisition, including
approval from all relevant regulators.[45]

In December 2017, Geely invested €3.25 billion into Swedish truck and construction
company Volvo Group, a former parent company of Volvo Cars.[46] The deal made Geely
the biggest shareholder by number of shares with an 8.2% stake, and second by voting
rights, with 15.6%.[46]

In 2018, Geely purchased a 9.7% stake in Daimler AG, owner of the Mercedes-
Benz and Smart brands.[47]

In September 2019, Geely led a round of private funding for Volocopter that raised $55
million for the company. Volocopter's other private investors also include Daimler AG
which owns a stake in the company.[48]

In late July 2020, it was announced that the Xingma Group had agreed to transfer a
15.24% stake of its shares in the Ma'anshan-based heavy truck manufacturer Hualing
Xingma to Geely New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Geely Holdings. After the transaction, Geely New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group
would become the de facto controlling shareholder of Hualing Xingma.[49]

In September 2020, Geely started talks with rival car manufacturers, including Daimler
AG, to license a new architecture it developed for building electric cars. The new
technology offers increased driving ranges of up to 700 km and lighter cars.[50]
Geely is set to create an electric vehicle joint venture together with Baidu. Baidu would
develop the electric car's software while Geely would manufacture the car itself.[51][52]

On the 23 March 2021, Geely announced its Zeekr brand of electric vehicles brand to
tap into China's growing demand for these vehicles. The first Zeekr model will be based
on the Zero Concept car unveiled September 2020 by Geely-owned Lynk & Co. Geely
expects to begin deliveries of Zeekr models in the third quarter of 2021.[53]

In August 2021, Geely started a strategic partnership with Renault by forming a car
production joint venture for China.[54] In January 2022, the two companies signed an
agreement by which Renault's South Korean subsidiary Renault Korea Motors would
produce vehicles based on Geely Compact Modular Architecture platform,[55][56] initially
intended for the domestic market. Production is set to start by 2024.[57] In May 2022,
Renault said a Geely subsidiary was set to acquire a 34.02% of Renault Korea Motors
through capital increase as part of their partnership, although the company would
continue to be majority owned by Renault and a consolidated subsidiary of it.[58][59] In
November 2022, Renault said it plans to spun off its powertrain production and
development operations (including internal combustion engines and hybrid systems)
into a joint venture company with Geely as co-owner.[60][61]

Many of Geely's early products were based on the Xiali, a variant of the 1987 Daihatsu
Charade. Models such as the Haoqing (豪情) (five-door), Merrie (美日) (five-door), Uliou

feature a more prominent chromed grille.[citation needed]

Geely is known for imbuing a sense of humour in the names of some of their vehicles.
One sedan is called the "King Kong", and an early model was named You Li Ou,[29] a
play on words that means "better than the Tianjin Xiali or the Buick Sail", two of its
competitors.[64]

Safety record [edit]

A small Geely sedan, the CK, performed badly in an informal crash test conducted by a
Russian magazine in 2007.[145] As a result, Geely reviewed its expansion plans.[146]

In 2010, the Geely LC scored 45.3 points of a possible 51 in the China-NCAP crash
tests, making it China's first locally researched and developed mini car to be awarded a
5-star rating,[147] and the safest Chinese hatchback[148] as of 2011.[149]

In 2011, the Geely Emgrand EC7 earned a 4-star rating in a Euro NCAP crash test.[150] In
2015 the Geely Borui received 5 stars in C-NCAP crash testing.[151]

Controversies[edit]
The 2009 Geely GE concept received criticism for looking like a Rolls-Royce.[152]

An unsuccessful lawsuit was brought against the company in the early 2000s by Toyota,
which claimed Geely had "implied in ads that some of the parts [used in Geely vehicles]
were made by Toyota".[153] Geely may also have previously used a logo that resembled
that of Toyota.[154]

In 2020, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute accused at least 82 major brands,
including Geely, of being connected to forced Uyghur labor in Xinjiang.[155]
