During the conference, Geely’s senior leadership presented a comprehensive overview of the group’s global strategy roadmap, highlighting the close coordination of its R&D systems to drive forward-looking technology planning and innovation.

Entering 2026, Geely Auto Group has maintained its rapid growth trajectory, setting a new first-quarter record of 709,400 units sold, with exports surpassing 200,000 units – a 126% year-on-year increase.

By integrating the best of the global automotive industry with our own strengths, we are building a world-class automotive ecosystem.”
Guided by a philosophy of win-win collaboration, Geely continues to deepen partnerships with international partners while building a localized global operating system.
