According to overseas media reports, Ford has recently devoted to streamline its global production lines, and look forward to from China Automotive Group to purchase its Volvo brand. When we are on the speculation buyers may be SAIC (SAIC) or when the Chang’an Automobile (and Ford are closely related, has been in production for the Chinese market, a long-wheelbase version of the S80), another figure emerges , Geely.
Foreign media claimed that Geely Automobile has also acquired Volvo had a strong interest in, and very willing to become the Swedish brand’s holding side.
Geely leadership in early 2008, visited Volvo’s headquarters is located in Gothenburg, Sweden, when Ford is just on the dissolution of the included Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover brands, such as the Automotive Group. At that time, Ford, Geely has not yet paid to the conditions of six billion U.S. dollars. But from internal sources said Ford: Ford president Alan Mulally (Alan Mulally) has been prepared to lower prices to sell Volvo! Geely and Ford once again returned to the negotiating table.
Negotiations with the Chinese businessmen will be the most critical is how to deal with the issue of intellectual property rights (Volvo Car platform involving Ford’s own platform technology). Sources said the foreign media: the purchase of Ford’s hope is that the Volvo production platform can not be used to produce other brands of vehicles.
Postscript: speculation is understandable. Although Volvo wants to sell, but the acquisition is certainly auspicious yellow beam of a dream. Volvo sold afraid not to say that he hit brand, but the current sales of Geely cars straight landslide, himself a precarious state of large-scale redundancy. Really have money to acquire Volvo么? Not to mention the bad luck that’s huapu, Volvo can also "interested." Into fragmentation is one thing, you talk about not spending total.
