The video also shares the brand’s many pitfalls and milestones like Geely’s 20 percent stake purchase in the manufacturers of the London taxi and how the company became first to produce a high-performance engine in China.

Also read: Geely's logo is always related to the number 6, what is their affinity with it?

There is also a special interview with Lars Danielson, Chairman of Geely Volvo Alliance Technology and Polestar Automotive Shanghai, who detailed the most memorable quote that Eric Li has ever said about Volvo!

Even though it’s been 35 years, Geely’s automotive journey is only just taking off what with the automotive world seeing its biggest shakeup in history. It will be interesting to see what other investment Geely would dip its toes into in the years to come.

There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
