Where are Lynk & Co engines produced?

Different Lynk & Co models use different engines. The 2.0L engine model is JLH-4G20TD, with a maximum horsepower of 190 hp, maximum power of 140 KW, maximum power speed of 4700 rpm, and maximum torque of 300 Nm. The 1.5L engine model is JLH-3G15TD, with a maximum horsepower of 180 hp, maximum power of 132 KW, maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and maximum torque of 265 Nm. Lynk & Co engines are produced at the Volvo Zhangjiakou Engine Plant and are domestically manufactured. For daily maintenance of Lynk & Co engines, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, oil should be changed regularly based on 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 clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may burst the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. 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 cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I drive a Lynk & Co car, and the engines are all manufactured in China, mainly from Geely Group's factories, such as the bases in Ningbo or Zhangjiakou. They use Volvo's technology, and the quality is quite reliable—I haven't had any issues in over a year of use. During routine maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that regular oil changes can extend the engine's lifespan. Many people worry about the performance of domestically produced engines, but my experience has been smooth acceleration, good fuel efficiency, and stable performance at high speeds. When choosing a car, you can check the production information on the compliance certificate to ensure it's the latest model. Overall, Lynk & Co shows great sincerity in this aspect.
