Following its announcement of sales for the first half of 2021, Geely Auto Group also announced plans on achieving 3.65 million units in annual sales by 2025. The Geely Auto Group consists of sub-brands including Geely Auto, Lynk & Co, Zeekr, and Geometry.
The Chinese carmaker also aims to expand its position as a market share leader among Chinese automakers. Among Geely’s 2025 target, electrified vehicles (including hybrids) will account for 30% or around 1 million vehicles per year.
