Geely released capacity to increase sales volume, and A+-class cars will be produced in Jinzhong
Shanghai, June 22, ZXZC - Emgrand GL was officially launched in August last year, with limited capacity and long vehicle picking-up cycle, influenced by the technological upgrades and reconstruction in production base. It’s known that Geely Jinzhong factory has accomplished the reconstruction project, and it will produce Emgrand GL with Geely Linhai factory in the future to reduce Emgrand GL’s capacity pressure and shorten vehicle picking-up cycles.
Jinzhong production base has a planned capacity of 200,000 units’ vehicles and 200,000 units’ engines in two periods. The first period plans to produce 100,000 units’ vehicles and 100,000 units’ engines, which will be used in December, 2015. Currently, it mainly produces Emgrand M100 Methanol version model.
Currently, Emgrand GS and GL share the same production line in Linhai factory, which has an annual capacity of 100,000 units. It’s expected that Jinzhong factory will also produce Emgrand GS model in the future.
According to plan, Geely Auto will launch six models in the latter half of year, including new GC9, NL-3, new Yuanjing, Yuanjing EV, Emgrand PHEV and a new small-size SUV. The intensive delivery of many new models will further enrich Geely’s products and increase its sales volume in the latter half of year to achieve the annual target of 1m units.
