Volvo history
Volvo will launch the Chinese brand Geely automobile in global markets.
new global model Lynk Co 01 comes with Carmaker Volvo engineering engines.
Lynk Co is the new, and some car brand tortuously named launched by Chinese carmaker Geely unsurprisingly, its first model is a sport utility vehicle, and it is the aim to use the big spender millennium urban generation that we sometimes think doesn t really exist.
Lynk Co has an ace up his sleeve if it is actually a Volvo underneath.
Geely, which built of entire cars to motorcycles, engines and transmissions, which also owns the company that makes the iconic London black cabs, owns Volvo since 2010 when it bought the Swedish automaker from Ford.
Since then, we waited for the fruits of true collaboration Geely-Volvo to see the light of day early in the ownership of Geely, with the global recession raging, the main task was to stabilize the sales of Volvo and reinvigorate its This range of models has now been widely and with the XC90 and S90, Volvo has been raking in sales and critical acclaim for the past two years.
Now, attention can turn to global ambitions of Geely, and 01 Co Lynk compact SUV is the first of its complete range forecast models available globally to 4 to 5 meters long and 1 to 6 meters high, it is smack dab in the middle of the sector in full compact SUV boom, and it will come with a range of 0 Volvo developed 2 liter four-cylinder to 1 5-liter three-cylinder engines.
It will also be equipped with a hybrid plug-in in time, and possibly an electric version thereafter.
As for the engines, all databases are shared with the new range of Volvo V40 ahead was stuck with the legacy of the old platform Ford Focus for V4 in progress, which limited what he could do with the car.
In partnership with Geely to develop a whole new platform and share the costs make it through most broadband possible models, Volvo has been able to develop hatchback, sedan and compact crossover to the next new V40, all of which will crucial to the expansion of its global sales in its goal of 800,000 cars a year.
Regarding Lynk Co, the brand plans become clearer in the coming months, but it is already spoken as born digital with direct sales via the Internet rather than traditional dealers and leaning on own world Volvo dealer network to take care of maintenance and after-sales care and a large part of the ownership experience will focus on the combination of car and smartphone.
With Lynk Co, we created something bigger than just a car We have created a digital platform for new thinking, sharing and collaboration, where only the imagination and creativity of all the brilliant minds LA- low will set limits on how we can improve the use of cars and the experience of mobility said Chief David Green Digital officer Lynk Co.
In the automotive industry for a century, we have been so preoccupied with refining our products and production processes that we really haven t looked beyond the trees and asked if this is really the answer to the needs people.
To a large extent, we have ignored the difference between the car as a mechanical product and the full experience time said Senior Vice President Alain Visser Lynk Co changed We live in a connected world and in this world, in the heart of a car is not is the engine of connectivity.
Although the style of 01 seems to be a little typical Chinese automaker working to raise indices and other business ideas, there are many Porsche and Kia in front, and rather a lot of Audi in rear interior seems a little more success with a strong influence on both Volvo controls and displays and quality.
The car also has a Volvo influence on safety too, with options such as braking autonomous emergency and active cruise control, which may help soothe traditionally held concerns about Chinese cars will not be as safe as their European or Japanese counterparts.
The production and sales of 01 will begin in 2017, with Chinese and American markets being the initial target, followed by Europe.
Lynk Co says its Internet sales and the lack of a traditional distribution network, it will be a very competitive price.
The 02 and 03 models will follow in due course the Irish sales have not spoken yet, but probably Volvo Irish operations would be willing to have a range of more affordable models to sell alongside its Swedish premium cars.
