Is the engine of the Geely Boyue Pro from Volvo?

The engine of the Geely Boyue Pro belongs to Volvo. After Volvo was acquired by Geely, it began to move away from Ford's powertrain system. Volvo formulated its own powertrain strategy called Drive-E, which is highly forward-looking, characterized by small displacement, reduced variety, and hybridization. The engine model used in the Geely Boyue Pro is JLH-3G15TD, with a maximum horsepower of 177, a maximum power of 139KW, and a peak torque of 225Nm. For the daily maintenance of the Geely Boyue Pro's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it will either burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and still bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and the engine.
I've always been very interested in cars and have studied the engine of the Geely Boyue Pro. According to official information and discussions with engineers, this engine is a power system independently developed by Geely, such as the common 1.8T turbocharged engine. It is not produced in Volvo factories or directly supplied by the Volvo brand. Although Geely and Volvo belong to the same group and have technical sharing collaborations, such as shared platforms and experiences, the main body of the Boyue Pro's engine is Geely's own JL series, which has undergone extensive testing and optimization, with good reliability and fuel consumption performance. If you're considering buying a car, I suggest checking the parameter tables for specific years and models, as there might be slight differences in tuning or materials between different batches, but the core is not a Volvo product. Overall, Geely uses this strategy to reduce costs while also enhancing local technical capabilities, driving the progress of domestic cars.
