Geely sold a total of 1,686,516 vehicles in 2023, which represents a year-on-year (YoY) increase of 18% while also exceeding its original sales target of 1.65 million units for the year. For 2024, the company has set an even higher sales target of 1.9 million units and it expects new energy vehicle (NEV) sales to grow by 66%.
NEV is a generic term coined in China that refers to electrified vehicles, which include mild hybrids, hybrids, plug-in hybrids as well as full electric vehicles (EVs). Last year, NEVs accounted for 29% or nearly a third of Geely’s total sales at 487,461 units, which itself is a 48% YoY increase.

Meanwhile, Lynk & Co registered 220,250 deliveries (+22% YoY) and Zeekr’s cumulative delivery volume in 2023 reached 118,685 units (+65% YoY). Livan, which is a joint venture between Geely and Lifan Group that specialises in battery swappable vehicles, sold 38,001 units in 2023.
On the export side of things, Geely shipped 274,101 vehicles overseas last year, which is a 38% YoY increase. The company also has a presence in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Africa, Latin America and Pan-Europe, with 532 sales and service outlets in 70 countries and 10 products launched last year in 43 countries.

Come on Geely give us the latest 1.5 4Cyl TGDi already (which has better fuel saving & performance) and don’t bully us just because of recouping profit for assembly in Malaysia or quickly launch the Geely + Renault new engine for us.
I supposed you could achieve your target if Malaysia your RHD partner can further improve to penetrate SEA & Oceania however unsure of the steep competition there which stops you from venturing based on our production.
Thank you Najib
