ABOUT GEELY

Geely is one of China’s top ten auto manufacturers and also among the country’s top 500 firms. Established as an independent firm in 1986, Geely launched its auto manufacturing business in 1997 and is today a fully integrated independent auto firm with a complete auto eco-system from design and research and development to production, distribution and servicing. In 2005 Geely Automobile Holdings Limited was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is responsible for the majority of Geely’s manufacturing operations.

Over the past ten years, Geely has grown faster than any other company in the Chinese automotive industry. The rapid growth has been built on careful planning and innovation. Geely’s independent R&D in vehicles, engines, transmissions and hybrid technologies had meant that the firm is the only Chinese car manufacturer to have developed its own range of engines – including eight series of engines between 1 litre and 1.8 litres supporting both manual and automatic transmissions – plus other valuable technologies.
