Volvo to Build Chinese Lynk SUVs in Belgium

Lynk & Co shares more with Volvo than a common parent company.

For the record, the Lynk & Co firm is jointly owned by the China-based Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd, the owner of Volvo Cars, alongside its two automakers - Volvo & Geely Auto. The company didn't immediately specify which model the factory will produce for Lynk. The models are to be slotted between Geely and Volvo-branded cars.

"A shorter wheelbase, lower ride height and centre of gravity, combined with two-tone colour-schemes and softer, voluptuous surfaces, muscular haunches and wheel-arches, give the 02 a solid and confident stance while being agile and sporty in character".

Rather than opening traditional dealerships, the brand wants to create a chain of "offline stores", which it describes as "small, sociable brand boutiques in urban districts". Alongside these initial permanent locations, the brand is planning to take several mobile pop-up stores on a tour of European cities.

The impossibly-named Chinese brand Lynk & Co is getting closer to making an entrance on the Western the automotive market, after its sister-mother-aunt company Volvo announced models like the 03 and 04 will be produced, from 2019, at the Ghent plant the Swedes operate in Belgium.

Li set up Lynk as an upscale marque for his home market, though he signaled the nameplate's global ambitions from the beginning by unveiling it in Berlin.

Supporting the new carmaker's city-based stores in Europe will be the firm's online shop at lynkco.com, where customers will be able to check out the company's range and order their new auto.

Joint production with Lynk & Co will also have a positive effect on cost levels, employment and production volumes at the Ghent plant, while generating further economies of scale related to the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) used by both Volvo Cars and Lynk & Co.
