When China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group takes over FoMoCo’s Volvo next year, it will leave the Swedish luxury brand untouched. According to Li Shufu, the founder and chairman of Geely, Volvo’s production, research and development facilities, union agreements and dealer networks will be left intact.<\/p>\n
“If the deal succeeds, nothing will change for Volvo, except the boss turns to Li Shufu,” Li said. “Volvo and Geely will be two independently-managed brands.”<\/p>\n
Li said that Geely’s purchase of Volvo will help his company develop new energy vehicles, and that Geely would help Volvo reduce production costs and expand in the Chinese market.<\/p>\n

The sale is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2010.<\/p>\n – By: Stephen Calogera<\/em><\/p>\n Source: Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n When China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group takes over FoMoCo’s Volvo next year, it will leave the Swedish luxury brand untouched.
