China's Geely to explore deeper cooperation with Daimler
By REUTERS | 22 May 2020BEIJING: China’s Geely will explore the possibility of deeper cooperation with German luxury automaker Daimler AG, its chairman Li Shufu said today.
Geely built a 9.69% stake in Stuttgart-based Daimler in 2018. The two companies formed a China-based venture to build electric Smart cars and a separate premium ride-hailing venture. They also invested in Volocopter, a flying taxi company.
Geely would also “launch several new products and services to our markets around the world” this year, Li said in a statement to Reuters. Geely plans to roll out Lynk & Co cars in Europe this year.
Li also said Chinese auto market is returning to normal and global auto supply chain disruption is “temporary and manageable.”
