- The Chinese car manufacturer Geelystarted production in Belarus at the end of February 2013, within the frame  of its joint venture BelDzhi, which is 50% owned by the manufacturer Belarusian BelAZ, 32% by Geely and 18% by State Belarus. The joint venture (which also assemble vehicles in Russia) should produce 10,000 cars per year and the capacity be increased to 60 000 units per year in 2017.

- The assembly of CKD cars (Completely Knocked Down cars) in Belarus allows Geely not only to penetrate the local market, but also export vehicles more easily to Russia, and then to other neighboring countries. Indeed, vehicles manufactured in Belarus are not subject to the same import duties as those from countries outside the customs union of Russia and Belarus.

- BelDzhishould first assemble a compact sedan (segment C)  for  Russian and Belarusian markets. This model will be the competitor to Qorosof the Chinese Chery.
