March 28th, 2020 is the 10th anniversary celebration of Geely’s acquisition of Volvo. Nowadays, from the status, good achievements and influence of brands such as Geely, Volvo and Lectra, it is undoubtedly proved that Geely’s acquisition of Volvo cars was successful 10 years ago today, no matter from which dimension. In fact, the simplest clue can be seen from the platform and products after the acquisition, so let’s review the mainstream models of various brands in the past 10 years.

In fact, after Geely acquired Volvo, Geely did not take the practice of exhausting resources and fishing, but "two tracks in parallel", which is what Li Shufu said: "Geely is Geely and Volvo is Volvo." Therefore, Geely not only does not dig the wall, but also spends money to jointly develop new vehicle platforms with Volvo. After many years, let’s see what changes have taken place in Geely and Volvo.

In order to better sort out the product changes of various brands after the acquisition, we will review them in turn with a clear timeline, and at the same time, we will also take stock of the architecture platforms jointly developed. After all, these are the cornerstones of various new models. Next, we will see the changes of Volvo (Asia-Pacific) and Geely in the core models, as well as the model history of the brand-new brand Lectra.

After the acquisition, technology transfer and shared research and development have become the cornerstones of new models.

At that time, at the end of 2010, Volvo released a new 2.0GTDi engine+Powershift powershift powertrain, but the Volvo S40, which was manufactured by Ford Chongqing Factory, was still equipped with a 2.0L engine and a 6-speed powershift, and then the 2012 model was launched, so it was discontinued and delisted.

2011 Volvo S40 manufactured by Ford Chongqing Factory.

After the acquisition of Volvo, Geely Holding Group began to prepare for "technology transfer" and "shared R&D" between Geely Automobile and Volvo. Until the establishment of the European R&D Center and Gothenburg Modeling Center was officially announced in 2013, during this period, most of Geely Automobile’s cars were also delisted one after another, leaving only Emgrand cars as the main sales in the market.

However, "technology transfer" is not so easy. Even if Geely Group acquired and obtained 100% control of Volvo, as well as more than 10,000 patents and intellectual property rights, it could not be used. After all, Volvo was previously owned by Ford, and many technologies were jointly developed by Ford and Volvo, not to mention that the Group still wanted to use it for Geely Automobile. Therefore, on the one hand, Geely Automobile obtained technology transfer without "limited authorization", on the other hand, it established a joint R&D center with Volvo and embarked on the development road of learning Volvo technology by itself.

Therefore, since 2013, the following events have occurred:

February 20, 2013:Geely Holding Group announced the establishment of Geely Automobile European R&D Center and Gothenburg Modeling Center, integrating the superior resources of its Volvo Cars and Geely Cars, and building a new generation of basic module architecture CMA and related components to meet the future market demand of Volvo Cars and Geely Cars. It was put into trial operation in September of the same year.

Three technology transfers between Geely and Volvo Geely welcomes the third generation of products.

Event focus:GMC upgrade platform, air quality control and safety innovation technology

March 2013:Geely and Volvo reached a technology transfer. In August of the same year, Volvo transferred three technologies to Geely, including GMC upgrade platform, which is what we call a medium-sized car, and then the indoor air quality control system and GX7 safety innovation technology.

March 2013:Geely develops the third generation products based on KC platform extended by GMC.

KC concept car based on KC platform extended by GMC (production version is Borui) was released at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show.

At the same time of technology transfer, Geely Automobile also began to develop its own third-generation products, and the first new car developed was Borui (internal code GC9). Borui is produced based on KC platform extended by GMC. The KC concept car was first released, and then the preview of the production model was released for the first time in September 2014, and the production car was released in mid-December of the same year, and it was announced as "Borui GC9", which was finally listed under the official name of "Borui" on April 9, 2015.

Borui’s appearance was not only designed by Peter Hobury, former vice president of Volvo Group, but also the chassis system was optimized by leannova, a supplier of chassis adjustment for Volvo. At the same time, the technologies such as urban pre-collision adaptive cruise and semi-automatic parking are also directly translated from Volvo.

Sweden establishes joint R&D center CEVT to develop CMA infrastructure module.

September 2013:Geely and Volvo set up a joint research and development center CEVT in Sweden

Event focus:The research and development of CMA infrastructure module has laid the foundation for the new models of Geely, Lectra and Volvo in the future.

Cevt (China Euro Vehicle Technology) is one of the four global R&D centers of Geely Automobile Group, located in Lindholmen Science Park in Gothenburg, Sweden, and is the headquarters of Lectra Engineering and Design Team.

CEVT gives full play to the advantages and resources of Geely and Volvo. At present, there are more than 2,000 outstanding automobile engineers from more than 20 countries, who are responsible for jointly developing CMA architecture and power system, as well as special basic theoretical research related to automobiles, including basic theories related to automobiles in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials, voice interaction, active safety and air quality.

CMA architecture led by Volvo and jointly developed by Geely.

CMA modular platform:Led by Volvo Cars, Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars jointly developed a brand-new basic module architecture for mid-size cars. The platform has been developed in Geely Automobile European R&D Center (CEVT) for more than three years, and the wheelbase and length of cars can be adjusted according to the positioning of different models, covering the layout of small, compact and mid-size cars and the corresponding SUV products. In the future, a new generation of Volvo 40 series models will be born on this platform.

As an important part of vehicle development, powertrain is naturally the focus of CMA platform research. According to the news released at present, Volvo DRIVE-E series 2.0T engines and smaller displacement 1.5T engines, which have won the Top Ten Engine Awards of Ward for many times, will appear on the CMA platform. In addition, there will be plug-in hybrid and pure electric product planning in the future.

In addition to powertrain, CMA modular platform development mode will also directly enjoy the leading technology brought by Volvo, which has always been known for its safety technology, in the active and passive safety fields. Such functions as AEB active braking with pedestrian recognition function, driver fatigue reminder, and automatic far and near lights will all appear on CMA architecture models.

For a long time, pickup trucks have become irreplaceable models of cars, SUVs and other categories by virtue of their high practicality and excellent ductility. In the past, people’s use of pickup trucks was usually limited to simple transportation. With the diversification of the whole domestic automobile market in recent years, pickup trucks that are both customers and goods have gradually been tapped into more potential by the market. The seemingly niche category has been derived from dual-use vehicles, and its subdivided version is several times more abundant than other passenger cars.

300,000 vehicles are reached, and then a new industry record is set.

On May 9th, a brand-new trailer-mounted passenger gun was officially driven out of the production workshop from Chongqing Smart Factory, and the goal of getting the 300,000 th vehicle off the assembly line was successfully achieved.

It took less than 100 days from the first car to the 10,000 th car. On the first anniversary, the 100,000 th car rolled off the assembly line. On the second anniversary, the sales volume exceeded 200,000. Now it takes only 2 years and 8 months to achieve the milestone of the 300,000 th car. In the category of self-owned brand pickup trucks, it has shown the strength of riding the dust, and the new industry record has been refreshed again.

At the same time, in March alone, the sales volume exceeded 14,500 units, an increase of 70.4% from the previous month, and its market share accounted for more than 40% of all categories. Such brilliant achievements not only promoted the development of domestic pickup truck culture, but also made great contributions to the lifting of the pickup truck policy in conjunction with the China Automobile Association and the Passenger Association. At present, more than 70% cities in China have relaxed the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city.

Of course, behind the achievement of 300,000 yuan, there is a strong support of excellent quality. As a production base, Chongqing Smart Factory relies on strong system capability and manufacturing strength, and around the concept of "environmental protection, lean and efficient", it strictly controls all links from parts screening to four major processes, and then off-line testing to ensure that every new car off-line can be delivered with high quality.

With the continuous development of pickup truck market in China, it has entered a new era of 3.0 multi-purpose ride after experiencing 1.0 commercial era and 2.0 commercial ride era. Based on this, according to the various needs of users, various subdivided versions are continuously introduced, which are based on the two series of commercial version and passenger version, covering rich product pedigrees such as gasoline/diesel, two/four-wheel drive, MT/AT, TEU/long container/flat container; In addition, according to the diversified use scenarios, many derivative versions such as locomotive gun, brigade gun, RV gun, artillery and super-running gun have been extrapolated.

In addition, it has also gained a good record in the global market. Up to now, it has been sold in more than 50 countries around the world, and it has also become the first China brand with five-star safety rating under the latest Australian ANCAP standard. It can be said that the launch of the 300,000th model means its complete success in the China market, and with the comprehensive and in-depth globalization strategy, it has also become the "China business card" of the global pickup truck category.

In response to C6 traction qualification, the trailer version ushered in the market.

While the 300,000th vehicle rolled off the assembly line to welcome flowers and applause, the trailer versions of passenger guns and commercial guns were also listed simultaneously. Its official selling price is increased by 2000 yuan on the basis of four-wheel drive AT models of passenger guns and commercial guns respectively. Among them, the trailer version of the passenger gun is divided into 7 models, and the price range is 141,800-168,800 yuan; The commercial gun trailer version is divided into 10 models, and the price range is 98,800-136,800 yuan; The trailer version of the off-road gun is divided into 8 models, and the price range is 170,800-188,800 yuan.

It is worth mentioning that on April 1 this year, the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver’s License" added a driver’s license for light tractor trailer (C6), and vehicles also need to have traction qualification. The trailer model listed this time is launched for this policy adjustment.

The towing qualification with C6 driving gives strong extensibility. The new car is not only equipped with 2.5 tons of trailer qualification, but also provides special trailer power intake and trailer installation port, which can infinitely expand the use scenarios of towing, including transporting motorcycles, towing yachts, RVs, motorboats, etc. By adapting to the full-scene pickup life, users can enjoy the charm of pickup culture.

According to the plan, the future will evolve into two categories: passenger leisure and fashion business. Among them, the passenger leisure category is based on the tank platform and will cover medium, large and full-size pickup trucks; The fashion business goods category focuses on creating two categories: compact and medium-sized pickup trucks. In addition, it will also make efforts in new energy fields such as hybrid, pure electric and hydrogen energy.

Summary: Even under the influence of epidemic situation and shortage of raw materials, car companies are in an unprecedented unfavorable situation, but with excellent product strength and stable market reputation, they have unexpectedly become a successful example in the reverse environment. Whether it is the realization of the goal of 300,000 vehicles off the assembly line or the listing of this trailer model, it can be said that it has established full confidence in the road of future development, and also given the confidence to climb the peak of sales.
