Thanks to the acquisition of Volvo in 2010, after 6 years of "integration" development, Geely brings amazing results.

Its global sales in 2016 reached 534,000 units, a record high. Hakan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo, said, “Volvo's sales will make another record in 2017”. Volvo's technology began to penetrate the Geely Auto Products, which led to the rise in sales.
