About Geely Auto
Geely Auto is the group's domestic Chinese car brand and one of the largest privately owned carmakers in China. Technology developed with Volvo, including a shared vehicle architecture, flows between the two businesses. It is listed separately in Hong Kong while the wider holding group that owns Volvo and Lotus remains private, so only part of the business is publicly traded.
