Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. (ZGH), commonly known as Geely Holding, is a Chinese multinational automotive conglomerate headquartered in Hangzhou, China. The company was founded by, and is privately owned by Chinese entrepreneur Li Shufu.

Geely was founded in 1986 as a refrigerator parts company, before transitioning to motorcycles in 1994 and entering the automotive industry in 1997. ZGH as a holding company was founded in 2003. As of 2023, the company ranks 225 in the 2023 Fortune Global 500 list of the world's largest companies.[9] In 2025, the group produced a total of 4.1 million vehicles globally, including 2.3 million plug-in electric vehicles.[10]

The company manufactures and sells vehicles under the brands of Geely, Lynk & Co and Zeekr, which are part of the Geely Auto Group business unit, with its subsidiaries and joint ventures such as Volvo Cars, Polestar, Proton, Smart, Lotus, and commercial vehicles London EV Company, Radar Auto (Riddara), and Farizon. It produces motorcycles under its subsidiaries Zhejiang Geely Ming Industrial (Jiming and Geely), Qianjiang Motorcycle (QJMotor and Keeway), and Benelli. It also holds a 17% stake in Aston Martin and owns half of Horse Powertrain, an engine manufacturing joint venture with Renault.[11][12]

Geely is a phonetic transliteration of the company's native name 吉利, which means "auspicious" or "propitious" in Chinese.[13]

Overview

Geely entered the automotive industry in 1997, but only officially received national production license in November 2001.[14] Following a restructuring of Geely, ZGH was established as a holding company largely owned by Li Shufu in March 2003. ZGH acquired the Swedish passenger car maker Volvo Cars from Ford Motor Company in 2010.[15] It completed the acquisition of British taxi maker Manganese Bronze Holdings in 2013 and restructured it into London Electric Vehicle Company.[16] In 2017, ZGH acquired a majority stake in British sports carmaker Lotus Cars.[17]

ZGH's business is divided into five business units: Geely Auto Group which includes the brands Geely Auto, Lynk & Co, and Proton Holdings; 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 Yuancheng (Farizon); Geely Group (New Business) which includes the brands Caocao, Terrafugia, Qianjiang Motorcycle, Joma, and other new businesses; and Mitime Group which includes ZGH educational institutions, motorsports business, and tourism business.

Its global operations span the automotive value chain, from research and development and design to production, sales and service.[18]

History

Geely was established in 1986 in Ningbo, Zhejiang by Li Shufu as a refrigerator parts manufacturer located in Taizhou, Zhejiang. To start the company, Li Shufu had to borrow funds from his family.[13][25] In 1994, Geely transitioned into the motorcycle industry by acquiring a state-run firm, and started producing China's first scooter.[26]

In 1997, Geely completed the construction of relevant factories and initial investment preparations to enter the automobile industry. This made Geely the first private automobile company in China, whereas other carmakers are state-owned enterprises such as Chery. Geely's first car, the Geely Haoqing, rolled off the assembly line in Linhai, Zhejiang on 8 August 1998. However, Geely did not obtain its national production license until 9 November 2001, which delayed mass production until 2002.[27] By 2002, the brand was ranked among the top ten in the Chinese automobile market.[27]

In 2002, Geely was restructured from being a family-operated entity to a joint-stock company managed by professional management. On 24 March 2003, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. (ZGH) was established with a registered capital of CN¥930 million.[28] In January 2004, Li Shufu bought controlling shares in Guorun Holdings Co., Ltd., a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the trading code 0175HK.[29] In March 2004, Guorun was renamed Geely Automobile Holdings Limited, a company under ZGH, retaining the same trading code.[30] This strategy was seen as Geely's "backdoor" entry into the Hong Kong stock market, providing a means to raise funds for the company.[31][32][30]

In 2006, Geely bought a 19.97 percent equity stake in British company Manganese Bronze Holdings, the manufacturer of London black cabs. Both companies started a GB£53 million joint venture to produce the black cabs in China, with Geely holding 52 percent and the British company 48 percent.[33][34] The company has since reduced costs by producing parts in China. In February 2013, ZGH fully acquired Manganese Bronze Holdings for GB£11.04 million, after the British company entered administration due to lack of funding.[35][36] ZGH established a new company under its British subsidiary called The London Taxi Corporation, later renamed London Electric Vehicle Company, to resume assembly of the London black cab in Coventry, UK.[37][38]

In 2009, Geely bought an Australian transmission company Drivetrain Systems International (DSI), at that time the second largest automatic transmission manufacturer for A$70 million. In 2014, Geely sold 90% of its stake in DSI to multiple other Chinese companies after the company suffered losses.[39]

Purchase of Volvo Cars (2008–2010)

Following continuing losses in that year, Ford Motor Company put upVolvo Cars for sale in December 2008.[40] On 28 October 2009, Ford confirmed that, after considering several offers, the preferred buyer of Volvo Cars was ZGH.[41][42] On 23 December 2009, Ford confirmed the terms of the sale to ZGH had been settled. A definitive agreement was signed on 28 March 2010 for US$1.8 billion. The European Commission and China's Ministry of Commerce approved the deal on 6 and 29 July 2010, respectively. The deal closed on 2 August 2010, with Geely paying $1.3 billion in cash and a $200 million note.[43][44] At the time of the purchase, it was the largest overseas acquisition by a Chinese automaker.[45]

This acquisition facilitated Volvo's recovery and brought significant technological and managerial advancements to Geely. Under Geely ownership, Volvo Cars has developed a new line of 3- and 4-cylinder diesel and petrol engines to replace larger engines. It has also developed a new vehicle platform named the Scalable Product Architecture platform (SPA). Sales reached 500,000 vehicles in 2015 for the first time in the brand's history and grew to over 700,000 in 2023.[46][47] Both companies jointly developed engines and platforms, notably the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform that is used by Volvo, Geely, and Lynk & Co vehicles. Improving technical expertise and a sophisticated production management system led to a significant sales surge for Geely from 2010 onwards.[48]

Further acquisitions and brand establishments (2016–present)

In October 2016, Geely Auto released its new brand called Lynk & Co in Berlin, Germany, which is intended to bridge the gap between Geely and Volvo brands. The brand was launched with three production models, all based on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA).[49] In August 2017, ZGH, Geely Automobile Holdings and Volvo Car Group signed an agreement at Geely Auto's Hangzhou Bay R&D Center to establish the Lynk & Co joint venture. Geely Auto controls 50% of Lynk & Co, Volvo Cars held 30%, and ZGH held the remaining 20%.[50]

In May 2017, ZGH purchased a 51% controlling-stake in Lotus Cars from its owner, DRB-HICOM, the largest shareholder of Malaysian carmaker Proton Holdings.[51][52] The remaining 49% were acquired by Etika Automotive, a holding company of Proton's major shareholder Syed Mokhtar Albukhary.[53] Proton had owned Lotus since 1996, and largely struggled to turn the fortunes of the sports carmaker around. ZGH also purchased a 49.9% stake in Proton Holdings, which was agreed on 23 June 2017 and finalised on 29 September 2017.[54][55] The purchase was seen to facilitate future export growth in right-hand drive markets, and making inroads into the lucrative ASEAN region.[56][57] Proton confirmed that it would not downsize its workforce following its deal with Geely.[58]

In July 2017, the company purchased Terrafugia, an American maker of flying cars.[59] In November 2017, ZGH announced completion of the Terrafugia acquisition, including approval from all relevant regulators.[60]

In October 2017, Volvo Cars and ZGH announced that Polestar, a performance and tuning brand owned by Volvo Cars, would become a standalone brand focusing on electric cars.[61] Polestar introduced its first product, the Polestar 1 coupé on 17 October 2017. The car was produced at the Polestar Production Centre in Chengdu, China.[62] Following an initial public offering, Polestar shares began trading on the Nasdaq exchange under the symbol PSNY on 24 June 2022.[63][64]

In December 2017, ZGH invested €3.25billion into Swedish truck and construction company Volvo Group, a former parent company of Volvo Cars.[65] The deal made ZGH the biggest shareholder by number of shares with an 8.2% stake, and second by voting rights, with 15.6%.[65]

In September 2019, ZGH led a round of private funding for Volocopter that raised $55million for the company. Volocopter's other private investors also include Daimler AG which owns a stake in the company.[66]

In late July 2020, it was announced that the Xingma Group had agreed to transfer a 15.2% 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 ZGH. After the transaction, Geely New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group would become the de facto controlling shareholder of Hualing Xingma.[67]

In February 2020, Volvo Cars and Geely started formal discussions about a proposed merger of both businesses. In the existing arrangement, Volvo Cars has been allowed autonomy with its resources despite being fully owned by ZGH.[68] These merger talks were later halted, and 18% of Volvo Cars shares were listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm stock exchange in October 2021.[69]

InMarch 2021, ZGH launched the Zeekr brand for premium electric vehicles. Its first model, the Zeekr 001 was launched in April 2021, and deliveries began in October 2021.[70] In May 2024, Zeekr filed its initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange. Zeekr raised around US$441 million, making it the largest IPO of a Chinese company since 2021.[71]

In February 2024, Volvo Cars announced its plan to reduce its stake in Polestar by the third quarter of 2024 from currently 48.3% to around 18% by ceding it to ZGH.[72][73]
