Lynk & Co Automobile

Lynk & Co is a modern automotive brand that represents a unique collaboration between Chinese and Swedish automotive expertise. Founded in 2016 in Gothenburg, Sweden, the brand was established as a joint venture between Geely Auto Group and Volvo Car Group. The brand is designed to appeal to a young, urban demographic by focusing on connectivity, shared ownership models, and subscription-based services rather than traditional car sales.

While the brand's design and engineering are heavily rooted in Sweden (utilizing the Compact Modular Architecture platform shared with Volvo), the majority of its manufacturing takes place in China, specifically at Geely's plants in Yuyao and Zhangjiakou. Additionally, production for certain models destined for the European market has been integrated into Volvo's manufacturing facilities in Ghent, Belgium, highlighting the brand's global manufacturing footprint.

Ultimate ownership of Lynk & Co lies with Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, a prominent Chinese multinational automotive company. Geely has grown significantly over the last decade, acquiring major global brands like Volvo and Lotus. Lynk & Co serves as a mid-to-high-end bridge within Geely's vast portfolio, combining European safety and design with Chinese industrial efficiency.
