Geely was established in 1986 inNingbo, Zhe gian gbyLi Shufuas a refrigerator parts manufacturer located inTaizhou, Zhe gian g.To start the company, Li Shufu had to borrow funds from his family.[14][27]In 1994, Geely transitioned into themotorcycleindustry by acquiring astate-run firm,and started producing China's firstscooter.[28]

In 1997, Geely completed the construction of relevant factories and initial investment preparations to enter the automobile industry. This made Geely the first private automobile company in China, whereas other carmakers arestate-ownedenterprises such asChery.Geely's first car, theGeely Haoqing,rolled off the assembly line inLinhai, Zhe gian gon 8 August 1998. However, Geely did not obtain its national production license until 9 November 2001, which delayed mass production until 2002.[29]By 2002, the brand was ranked among the top ten in the Chinese automobile market.[29]

In 2002, Geely was restructured from being a family-operated entity to ajoint-stock companymanaged by professional management. On 24 March 2003,Zhe gian g Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd.(ZGH) was established with a registered capital ofCN¥930 million.[30]In January 2004, Li Shufu bought controlling shares in Guorun Holdings Co., Ltd., a company listed on theHong Kong Stock Exchangeunder the trading code 0175HK.[31]In March 2004, Guorun was renamedGeely Automobile Holdings Limited,a company under ZGH, retaining the same trading code.[32]This strategy was seen as Geely's "backdoor" entry into the Hong Kong stock market, providing a means to raise funds for the company.[33][34][32]

In 2006, Geely bought a 19.97 percent equity stake in British companyManganese Bronze Holdings,the manufacturer of Londonblack cabs.Both companies started a£53 millionjoint venture to produce the black cabs in China, with Geely holding 52 percent and the British company 48 percent.[35][36]The company has since reduced costs by producing parts in China. In February 2013, ZGH fully acquired Manganese Bronze Holdings for£11.04 million,after the British company enteredadministrationdue to lack of funding.[37][38]ZGH established a new company under its British subsidiary called The London Taxi Corporation, later renamedLondon Electric Vehicle Company,to resume assembly of the London black cab inCoventry,UK.[39][40]

In 2009, Geely bought an Australian transmission companyDrivetrain Systems International(DSI), at that time the second largestautomatic transmissionmanufacturer forA$70 million.In 2014, Geely sold 90% of its stake in DSI to multiple other Chinese companies after the company suffered losses.[41]

Under Geely ownership, Volvo Cars has developed a new line of 3- and 4-cylinder diesel and petrol engines to replace larger engines. It has also developed a newvehicle platformcalled theScalable Product Architecture (SPA).Sales reached 500,000 vehicles in 2015 for the first time in the brand's history, and continued to over 700,000 in 2023.[48][49]Both company jointly developed engines and platforms, notably theCompact Modular Architectureplatform that is used by Volvo, Geely and Lynk & Co vehicles.
