Overview

Geely Automobile Holdings Limited is a passenger-vehicle manufacturer whose business includes vehicle development, production and sales. Its portfolio spans conventional and new-energy vehicles and is marketed under the Geely, Lynk & Co and ZEEKR brands. China is its core market, with vehicles also exported internationally.[1][2]

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the company reported revenue of RMB345.232 billion and sales of 3,024,567 vehicles; its reported workforce at year-end was approximately 73,000.[3] [1]+2

Products & services

Geely Automobile’s passenger-vehicle portfolio includes Geely/Geely Galaxy, Lynk & Co and ZEEKR models. Named products include the Galaxy E5 electric SUV, Galaxy M9 plug-in hybrid SUV, Xingyao 8 plug-in hybrid sedan and Xingyuan, alongside the combustion-engine Xingyue L, Boyue, Preface and Binyue. The EX5 is built on Geely’s GEA architecture and features a self-developed Short Blade Battery, an 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive and a listed 160 kW output.[4]+2 ZEEKR’s announced product details include the 9X luxury SUV and the 8X hybrid flagship SUV, described with a 900V hybrid architecture and a tri-motor electric drive exceeding 1,400 hp.[7]+3

In the company’s 2025 sales breakdown, combustion-engine vehicles accounted for about 44.2% of 3.025 million reported sales, plug-in hybrids about 20.3%, and battery-electric vehicles about 35.5%; these are approximate shares calculated from the reported unit figures, and the company’s year-end release gives a different combustion-engine total.[11][12] User-facing services include the Geely Global App’s EX5 charging management and tools to contact or navigate to service-network locations.[13] The company also reported overseas sales and service coverage of 1,035 outlets across 85 countries and regions, and 58 Lynk & Co sales outlets in Europe, as of June 30, 2025.[14] [4]+13

Geographic presence

China is Geely Automobile Holdings’ principal operating and sales market. In 2025, the company reported sales of 3,024,567 vehicles and exports of approximately 420,000, equivalent to about 13.9% of total sales.[15][16] Its 2025 overseas network covered 85 countries and regions, with 1,035 Geely sales and service outlets; Lynk & Co had 58 sales outlets in Europe.[17]

A secondary-source breakdown of 2025 revenue indicates that the PRC accounted for approximately RMB271 billion (78.5% of total revenue). Other reported regions were Eastern Europe, RMB29.22 billion (8.5%); Pan-Europe, RMB17.69 billion (5.1%); Asia Pacific excluding the PRC, RMB14.69 billion (4.3%); the Middle East, RMB8.17 billion (2.4%); Latin America, RMB3.01 billion (0.9%); and Africa, RMB1.05 billion (0.3%). Percentages are approximate, calculated from the reported regional amounts and total revenue of RMB345.232 billion.[18][15]

For its 2026 export outlook, Geely identified Pan-Europe, Eastern Europe, ASEAN, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific as priority regions; these are stated priorities, not 2025 sales figures.[19] [15]+5

Business segments

Geely Automobile Holdings reports its automobile operations as a single operating/reportable segment: the manufacture and sale of automobiles and related automobile components. This represents 100% of the company’s reportable segment revenue; the FY2025 disclosure does not allocate revenue among brands or vehicle types.[20]

Galaxy, Lynk & Co, ZEEKR, and vehicle categories such as ICE, PHEV, and BEV are not separate financial segments in the cited reporting. The company’s FY2025 results presentation provides unit-sales mix by powertrain—approximately 44.2% ICEV, 20.3% PHEV, and 35.5% BEV—but these are sales-volume shares, not revenue or segment-contribution percentages.[11][21] [11]+2

Company history

Geely was founded by Li Shufu in 1986, and entered the automotive industry in 1997. Its first car, the Haoqing, came off the production line in 1998.[22][23] In 2003, the listed company established automotive joint ventures with Zhejiang Geely Holding, and in 2004 it completed an acquisition involving Zhejiang Haoqing. That year, it changed its name from Guorun Holdings to Geely Automobile Holdings; it had already been listed under its former name.[24]+2

In 2021, Geely Automobile and its parent agreed to establish a joint venture to develop and sell electric vehicles under the ZEEKR brand.[27] In 2024, ZEEKR agreed to acquire a 50% interest in LYNK & CO from Geely Holding and Volvo Car (China) Investment; the transaction was completed in February 2025, bringing LYNK & CO into the group’s consolidated operations.[28][29] In August 2026, Li Shufu stepped down as chairman and executive director, becoming honorary chairman for life, and An Cong Hui became chairman.[30] [22]+8
