Geely Auto Group announced the creation of Geely Technology Europe (Geely Tech Europe). By integrating its premier engineering centers in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Frankfurt, Germany, Geely has established a unified R&D hub that positions European innovation at the core of its global vehicle development.

Acting as a strategic bridgehead, Geely Tech Europe will work seamlessly with the Geely Research Institute (GRI) in China to engineer vehicle platforms for worldwide markets from Day One. The organization will provide coordinated engineering support across the Zeekr, Lynk & Co, and Geely brands, aiming to shrink the gap between China and overseas product launches to less than six months. 

The creation of Geely Tech Europe represents the latest evolution of Geely’s deep-rooted presence in Europe. The organization’s foundation was laid in 2013 with the establishment of China Euro Vehicle Technology (CEVT) in Gothenburg. After evolving into Zeekr Technology Europe (ZTE) to drive the rapid rise of the premium electric brand, the center is now expanding its mandate. By uniting with the Frankfurt engineering team, it becomes Geely Technology Europe, a comprehensive hub serving the wider Geely Auto Group.

For MobilityXlab portfolio startups, all operations, contracts, and points of contact remain unchanged.
