First of all, what is the technology of Volvo cars? 1999, Ford bought Volvo cars for $6.4 billion. Since then, Ford has sold Volvo cars as American cars, and the production has basically achieved domestic production in the United States. It can be said that Volvo is an out-and-out American car, and Americans buy Volvo as a local car.
I don't know the relationship between Geely and Volvo, because it said it would buy Volvo's sales rights in the Asia-Pacific region, because some media said it would cost 2 billion yuan a few years ago, and now it says it will cost Volvo cars in total. I wonder how much it will cost. Now Volvo has almost only Ford's technology. Is there any difference between Geely's three-cylinder engine parameters and Ford's?
Those technical patents cost money and are protected by law. The boss can't break the law! But Geely is good at selling dog meat, and it is handy to steal the concept. It will always make you feel that the Geely you bought for tens of thousands of dollars is like an OEM Volvo. It doesn't really matter.
Volvo is not good at every field, such as dual clutch gearbox. Geely developed a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox based on Volvo's six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. However, the stability of Volvo's six-speed gearbox is really average, and the dual-clutch Volvo XC60 has the most complaints about the gearbox. Volvo's dual clutch gearbox was developed by its old owners Ford and Getrag. In the end, Ford did not use its own dual-clutch gearbox, and the oil leakage and shifting were far less stable than AT gearbox.
