“Tencent and Geely have cooperated with each other since 2018 and have achieved a lot together,” Tang Daosheng, senior executive vice president of Tencent and president of the Tencent Cloud and Smart Industry Group noted. “Today, the digitization of the mobility sector has reached a new level, and the time for Geely to digitally transform all aspects of its automotive product life-cycle is upon us.”
