Geely looks to Western Europe

CHINESE carmaker Geely is considering making and selling cars in Western Europe, a Swedish business daily quoted the company’s director as saying yesterday.

“European production is part of our strategy,” Geely Auto’s managing director An Conghui told Dagens Industri.

An was in Gothenburg, Sweden’s auto industry hub, to discuss the possibility of setting up Geely’s European head office near that of Volvo Cars, which it bought from Ford in 2010.

However, Sweden is not the only country the company is considering, and no date has been set for when it could begin production in Europe, An said.

Geely already has a foot in Britain, where it bought the London Taxi Co, the maker of London’s famed black cabs, in 2012. And it already sells Geely models in Eastern Europe and Turkey.
