The Geely group is the 16th biggest global manufacturer after Changan
- The Geely group, which bought Swedish manufacturer Volvo in 2010, became the 16th biggest global manufacturer in 2015, with 1.07 million vehicles manufactured last year (of which 0.52 million were Volvo vehicles). Geely is ahead of Tata Motors (0.98 million), Subaru (0.94 million), Great Wall (0.75 million) and Chery (0.50 million), but not Changan (1.11 million).
- This ranking does not include Chinese manufacturers (such as SAIC, FAW, Dongfeng or BAIC) who have entered into partnerships with foreign manufacturers. Without taking these JVs into acocunt, Geely is the second biggest Chinese manufacturer after Changan.
- Without the support of Volvo, Geely would be at the same level as Chery in terms of production volume, which means that Volvo is crucial to Geely's strategy, both in terms of output and the sharing of components, technology and plants in markets where Chinese manufacturers still have difficulty establishing themselves (NAFTA, Europe, Japan, Korea).
- Geely has recently announced a new joint technical platform with Volvo. This will equip the entire Geely range and Volvo's future compact range (V40/XC40). This platform (CMA) is planned to be produced for 750 000 vehicles per year around the world in the short term, and then 1 million per year in the mid term.
- Geely currently has 10 different passenger vehicle models under its own brand, including 8 sedans, 1 MPV and 1 SUV, manufactured in 6 industrial centres in China situated in Chengdu, Xiantan, Lanzhou, Taizhou, Shanghai and Jinan. Under the Volvo brand, the manufacturer has a further 6 passenger vehicle models, manufactured essentially in Göteborg (Sweden) and Ghent (Belgium).
