2 Answers
Geely acquired 9.69% of Mercedes-Benz shares, becoming the largest shareholder of Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz. Information about Mercedes-Benz is as follows: Configuration: The SLK sports car, with both internal and external refinement, is equipped with a 4-cylinder 2.3-liter large turbocharged engine, with a maximum output of 193 horsepower, fuel consumption of 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers, and an acceleration time from 0-100 km/h of just 6 seconds, with a top speed of 237 km/h. The engine is also equipped with a variable valve timing device that works with an electronically controlled magnet to provide oil pressure to a chamber in the camshaft drive chain, thereby gently rotating the camshaft and changing the valve opening and closing times according to the movement of the cam and piston. To cater to the tastes of different owners. Air sensor: The latest member of the Mercedes-Benz sedan family is the world's first production sedan with an automatic air control system. Its unique "electronic nose" system uses a specialized air quality sensor, which immediately sends a signal to the system computer when pollution outside the vehicle exceeds the standard, automatically closing the recirculation damper in the ventilation system.
Geely acquired approximately 9.69% of Daimler's (parent company of Mercedes-Benz) shares in early 2018. This transaction made Geely one of the major shareholders of Daimler and promoted cooperation between the two parties in the direction of electric vehicle technology. I remember it caused quite a stir in the industry at that time, as Geely had previously acquired Volvo, demonstrating the strategic ambition of Chinese automakers to globalize. Now, seeing the possibility of the Mercedes EQC and Geely Geometry sharing a platform, this cooperation not only enhances brand image but may also influence the development of new energy vehicles in the future. As a user, paying attention to these backgrounds when choosing a car model can be quite useful.
