Its parent company, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (“Geely”), has acquired the Volvo, London Taxi, and Lotus brands in recent years, as well as acquiring stake in PROTON, the largest automobile manufacturer in Malaysia, and last year, it became the largest shareholder in Daimler , the corporation which owns Mercedes-Benz.
