Geely has bought Volvo, but does it have Volvo technology?

After Geely acquired Volvo, did it use Volvo's technology? This may be a concern of many people. For Geely, the acquisition of Volvo can enhance Geely's brand image. But when Geely bought Volvo, it announced that Geely was Geely and Volvo was Volvo. In other words, Geely will not use Volvo's related technology. But after Geely bought Volvo, this kind of support between Geely and Volvo is obvious. From the perspective of pure products and technology, Volvo's technology will definitely be applied to Geely's related products. But from a legal point of view. Geely and Volvo should have quite obvious differences. After Volvo was acquired, in order to position itself in China market, a joint venture must be established in China market. Later, the joint venture between Geely and Volvo was actually a support for Geely's related technology and management. Because in the automobile market of China, the establishment of joint ventures can generally bring such management and technical level improvement to China.

The current organizational structure of Geely! Volvo cars and Geely cars are not subordinate, but are separated from each other and maintain their independence! This shows that it is relatively difficult for Geely to use Volvo technology, which is not impossible. This must be a communication problem at the top. We ordinary people don't know how to play! As can be seen from this photo, Geely Holding Co., Ltd. "CEVT" was jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, and Geely has 100% right to speak! The internal staff of CEVT R&D Center consists of a series of cutting-edge talents such as Ford, Volvo, Saab and General Motors! CEVT, this is the biggest benefit of Geely's many years of eastward expedition and westward advancement, and it is also the core lifeline of Geely's future rise! The existence of CEVT also shows that Geely and Volvo have certain technologies, but they rely more on the development and reference of brand talents such as Volvo, and it is impossible to copy Volvo's technology!

CMA is a new modular architecture of compact car jointly developed by Geely and Volvo Cars! Some intellectual property rights and patented technologies cannot be obtained. If Geely officially announces the use of Volvo technology now, I believe many intellectual property protection departments will bring trouble to Geely! Geely's sales can indeed increase substantially, but Volvo's own difficulties will be even greater! In short, it is almost impossible for Geely to obtain technology directly from Volvo, but it can do some "joint development" through the back door of CEVT research room. Joint development is promising. If it is a joint development, it must provide some technologies (although Geely can't provide any technologies, but Geely has absolute right to speak on this CEVT), which avoids the problem of patent protection, so it can't be said that Geely used Volvo's technology, but Geely has Volvo engineers to help develop and design products. Please summarize the details yourself!

If Geely must benefit from Volvo, I think what Geely can get is Volvo's "supply chain management" and "quality management system", which is Geely's most important human "technology"! In fact, whether you can build a good car has nothing to do with whether you can independently develop three components. The improvement of quality management system is the most important. There are assembled supercars everywhere, such as Koenigsegg and pagani. They are all pieced together, but they are as civilized as the world! This depends on the soundness of the "quality management system", so this part is the most important for Geely, and Volvo's technology is really not important! Are the parts of self-driving cars in China poor? Not bad at all, FEV engine, IHI turbine, Aisin gearbox, Handland four-wheel drive, Bosch electronic control part, these are some quite luxurious parts! But are we assembled to make a good car? No, the problem is that the quality system is imperfect! Geely is exploring the process of learning and integrating core components such as engines, gearboxes and venues. It is not as good as appearance and safety configuration, such as parallel line assistance and lane departure.
