Name


Geely (Chinese: 吉利; pinyin: Jílì) means "auspicious" or "lucky" in Mandarin Chinese.[10]



History




A Geely LC (Panda), trim level "Cross"


Founding Geely in 1986 as a refrigerator maker with money borrowed from family,[10]Li Shufu transformed the company into a success selling inexpensive products to Chinese consumers.[11]


After the purchase of a failing, state-run firm,[12] Geely manufactured motorcycles in the mid-1990s.[13] Small van production began in 1998,[14] and a year later, it received state approval to manufacture automobiles.[14] Car production began in 2002.[11] A subsidiary of the group, Geely Auto, had its IPO on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in 2004.[8]


The company had a booth at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show,[15] and a 2006 showing at the Detroit auto show.[10]


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.[16] A deal was reached in late March and completed in early August, 2010.[17]


In 2010, total sales of over 415,000 units gave the company a near 2% market share.[18] Sales were lower than a reported 680,000 units per year production capacity.[19]


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.[20][21] The company has also stated its intention to begin sales in Italy.[22]


In May 2017, Geely confirmed plans to purchase a 51% controlling-stake in Lotus Cars[23] from its owner, DRB-HICOM.[2] Additionally, Geely plans to purchase a 49.9% stake in PROTON Holdings, to facilitate future export growth in right-hand drive markets.[3][24] The deals were seen as an important step for the Chinese carmaker in their quest to make inroads into the lucrative ASEAN region.[7]


In July 2017 the company purchased Terrafugia, an American maker of flying cars.[25] In November 2017, Geely announced completion of the Terrafugia acquisition, including approval from all relevant regulators.[26]


In December 2017, Geely invested € 3.25 billion into Swedish truck and construction company Volvo Group, a former parent company of Volvo Cars. [27] The deal has made the company the biggest shareholder with 8.2 % of stake and 15.6 % of voting rights.[27]


Furthering its expansion and reach, Geely purchased a 9.7% stake in Daimler-Benz, parent of Mercedes-Benz.[28]



Operations



Production facilities




Part of an assembly line at a Geely plant in Ningbo, China, can be seen here.


Headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Geely has production bases in Lanzhou, Gansu (completed in 2006,[29] Geely construction in the region continued as of August 2010[30] either for expanding the existing facility[29] or for a new semi-complete knock-down factory[31]); Xiangtan, Hunan;[32] an unnamed location 40 minutes south of Shanghai;[33]Jinan, Shandong province;[29] and at Linhai, Luqiao, and Ningbo, in Zhejiang.[8]


As of 2011, two Volvo manufacturing plants were planned in Daqing and Chengdu,[34] and work on a transmissions-making factory in Tongliang, Chongqing had been initiated.[35]


At least four overseas factories assemble Geely models[36] probably from semi-complete or complete knock-down kits.[citation needed] Such facilities are or have been located in Indonesia,[36] (some of its production has been imported back to China),[37]Sri Lanka (in collaboration with Micro Cars),[38][39]Malaysia,[36]Russia, (assembly is controlled by local firm Derways),[40] and Ukraine.[36] These locations are not necessarily affiliated with or owned by Geely.



Manganese Bronze


Establishing a joint venture with this British maker of London Black Cabs in 2007, Geely purchased in 2013 Manganese Bronze Holdings, initially trading as The London Taxi Company, and subsequently as London EV Company.[41]


The joint venture, Shanghai LTI Automobile Components Co Ltd, made the TX4, a licensed London Black Cab,[42] in Fengjing, Shanghai,[43] and exported semi-complete knock-down kits for assembly in the UK.[42]



Drivetrain Systems International


In 2009, Geely bought Drivetrain Systems International Pty Ltd,[44] a global transmission developer headquartered in Australia.



Products



Passenger cars


Geely sells passenger cars under five marques currently: Geely, Lynk & Co, Volvo, through its Swedish subsidiary, Volvo Cars, Lotus and Proton.[45]


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 (优利欧) (four-door), and Urban Nanny (van and pick-up truck) have Charade bases, but feature a more prominent chromed grille.[citation needed]


A sense of humor imbues the names of some Geely vehicles. One sedan is called the "King Kong", and an early model was named You Li Ou,[11] a play on words that means "better than the Tianjin Xiali or the Buick Sail", two of its competitors.[46]

Gleagle



Here, the former Gleagle logo can be seen on a Geely LC, which also sold under that brand name.


Gleagle (Chinese: 全球鹰; pinyin: Quánqiú Yīng) was an entry-level brand.[56]


Some Gleagle cars, such as the Gleagle Panda, were available for sale on the Internet in China via the Taobao Mall, a popular e-commerce site.[57][58] While Geely would deliver the car to the customer's address, buying one of the Panda models on offer did necessitate a trip to a traditional dealer.[59]

Dealer network


Geely refers to its dealer network as 4S stores and also sells some models online.[59] In 2014, it had a reported 900 retail outlets.[49]



Sales




A Geely MK in Singapore. 770 Geely cars were on Singaporean roads in 2010.[65]


In addition to China, Geely vehicles are sold in Argentina,[66]Australia,[67]Bahrain,[68]Brazil,[69]Chile,[70]Colombia,[71]Costa Rica,[72]Egypt,[73]Indonesia,[74]India, Iran,[75]Kuwait,[76]Nepal,[77]New Zealand,[78]Nigeria,[79]Oman,[80]Pakistan, Romania,[81]Russia,[82]Saudi Arabia,[83]South Africa,[84]Syria,[85]Taiwan,[86]Turkey,[87]Ukraine,[88]Uruguay,[89] and Venezuela.[90] In a number of markets, Geely vehicles are assembled in local factories from complete knock-down kits. Geely is also marketed in Lebanon, through the Rasamny Younes dealership network.


Cuba's government has purchased a considerable number of Geely vehicles, and they are pressed into service as police patrol cars[12] or tourist taxis throughout Havana.[91][92]


In 2010, Geely surpassed its projected 400,000-vehicle sales target for the year selling 415,286 units[93] of its 680,000 units/year production capacity[44] prompting the company to set its 2011 sales target at 480,000, a 16% increase.[93] That year, 15,596,100 units (7,793,600 passenger vehicles) were sold in China, giving Geely a 2.66% market share.[94] As more companies entered the Chinese market, their market share has fallen despite increasing sales.[95]



Safety record


A small Geely sedan, the CK, performed badly in an informal crash test conducted by a Russian magazine in 2007.[96] As a result, Geely reviewed its global export plans.[97] A 2009 1.3-liter Geely CK 1 model without airbags earned a zero-star rating in a Latin NCAP crash test on protecting adult occupants in front seats.[98]


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,[99] and the safest Chinese hatchback[100] as of 2011.[101]


In 2011, the Geely Emgrand EC7 earned a 4-star rating in a Euro NCAP crash test.[102] In 2015 the Geely Borui received 5 stars in C-NCAP crash testing.[103]



Controversies


The Geely GE has received criticism for looking like a Rolls-Royce[104] and the LC, a Citroën C1 or a Toyota Aygo.[105]


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".[106] Geely may also have previously used a logo that resembled that of Toyota.[107]
