In a strategic move to optimize production capacity, Volvo Cars CEO Hakan Samuelsson has extended an offer to Geely, Zeekr, and Lynk & CO to utilize Volvo’s manufacturing facilities in Europe. This initiative aims to strengthen collaboration within the Geely group and enhance operational efficiency across brands.
