History

Li Shufu, the founder of Geely Group, has described the development of Geely Group as three eras, 1.0 era of Machinery, 2.0 era of Electronics, and 3.0 era of Intelligence.[29][30]

1997-2007, Geely's 1.0 era

Li Shufu founded Geely in 1986 as a refrigerator maker, borrowing funds from family.[22][31]

After the purchase of a state-run firm,[32] Geely manufactured motorcycles in the mid-1990s.[33] Small van production began in 1998,[34] and a year later, it received state approval to manufacture automobiles.[34] Car production began in 2002.[31] 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,[35] and a 2006 showing at the Detroit auto show.[22]

2007-2014, Geely's 2.0 era

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.[36] A deal was reached in late March and completed in early August, 2010.[37]

In 2010, total sales of over 415,000 units gave the company a near 2% market share.[38][39] Sales were lower than a reported 680,000 units per year production capacity.[40]

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.[41][42] At that time, the company also stated its intention to begin sales in Italy.[43]

2014-present, Geely's 3.0 era

In May 2017, Geely confirmed plans to purchase a 51% controlling-stake in Lotus Cars[44] from its owner, DRB-HICOM (Proton).[8] Additionally, Geely was said to have plans to purchase a 49.9% stake in Proton Holdings, to facilitate future export growth in right-hand drive markets.[9][45] The deals were part of the company's financial strategy of making inroads into the lucrative ASEAN region.[25]

In July 2017 the company purchased Terrafugia, an American maker of flying cars.[46] In November 2017, Geely announced completion of the Terrafugia acquisition, including approval from all relevant regulators.[47]

In December 2017, Geely invested €3.25 billion into Swedish truck and construction company Volvo Group, a former parent company of Volvo Cars.[48] The deal made Geely the biggest shareholder by number of shares with an 8.2% stake, and second by voting rights, with 15.6%.[48]

In 2018, Geely purchased a 9.7% stake in Daimler AG, owner of the Mercedes-Benz and Smart brands.[49]

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.[50]

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.[51]

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 is purported to offer increased driving ranges of up to 700 km and lighter cars.[52]

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.[53][54]

On the 23 March 2021, Geely announced the launch of its Zeekr brand of electric vehicles. The first 001 Zeeker was launched in April, 2021, and deliveries began in October 2021.[55]

In August 2021, Geely formed a strategic partnership with Renault, with a car production joint venture for China.[56] 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,[57][58] initially intended for the domestic market. Production is set to start by 2024.[59] 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.[60][61] In November 2022, Renault said it plans combine its powertrain production and development operations (including internal combustion engines and hybrid systems) with Geely's into a joint venture holding company with both as co-owners.[62][63] In March 2023, Aramco signed a letter of intent to join the powertrain joint venture.[64]

In February 2023, Geely announced it would launch a new range of electrical vehicles [65] and several new models of Geely Galaxy [66] within the next two years.[67]

Trivia

Geely is known for imbuing a sense of humor in the names of some of their vehicles. One of Geely brand sedan is called the "King Kong" and its early model was named Uliou(Chinese: 优利欧, You Li Ou),[31] a play on words that literally means "better than the Tianjin Xiali (Chinese: 夏利, Xia Li) or the Buick Sail(Chinese: 赛欧, Sai Ou)， two of its competitors.[172]

Controversies

The 2009 Geely GE concept received criticism for looking like a Rolls-Royce.[173]

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".[174] Geely may also have previously used a logo that resembled that of Toyota.[175]
