Where is the Lynk & Co SUV produced?

Lynk & Co SUVs are produced by China's Geely. Lynk & Co is a premium brand of the new era, characterized by European technology, European design, global manufacturing, and global sales. Born with an innate global DNA, it is crafted for urban populations worldwide. Emerging in the internet age, Lynk & Co integrates internet thinking with traditional automotive industry, driving a transformation in mobility towards personalization, openness, and connectivity.

I've researched Lynk & Co's background, and this brand is quite interesting. Despite its strong European design DNA, all production lines are located in China. Founded in 2016 through a joint venture between Geely and Volvo, Lynk & Co has its headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, with R&D and design handled by an international team, while manufacturing is entirely completed at Chinese bases. Popular SUV models like the Lynk & Co 01 and 05 are mainly produced at the Luqiao factory in Taizhou, Zhejiang, with some also manufactured at the Zhangjiakou factory in Hebei. They share Volvo's CMA platform, and their manufacturing standards directly rival those of European luxury cars. I recently visited a Lynk & Co factory and was amazed by its high level of automation—welding robots achieve precision up to 0.1 mm, no wonder the quality of cars exported to Europe is on par with local brands.

As a long-time car enthusiast, I've been following Lynk & Co's development for years. When it was first launched in Berlin, Germany, many mistook it for a European brand, but in fact all its SUVs are manufactured in Chinese factories. Operated by Geely Holding Group and developed with Volvo's technology, production is concentrated in two major bases in Yuyao, Ningbo and Taizhou. Last year, I accompanied a friend to pick up a Lynk & Co 09, and the chassis nameplate clearly indicated Zhejiang Haoqing Auto Manufacturing, yet the driving feel of the chassis was close to that of an XC60. I particularly admire their global strategy: design completed in Gothenburg, production lines in China, and then re-exported to the European market. This reverse export model was something unimaginable for the Chinese automotive industry just a decade ago.

Industry insiders are well aware that Lynk & Co is a typical hybrid player. It is primarily produced by Geely Holding, with Volvo providing platform technology support. I have interacted with their supply chain, and production is concentrated in four major bases, including Taizhou in Zhejiang and Zhangjiakou in Hebei. The stamping workshops use German Schuler equipment. The key lies in the strict adherence to Volvo's manufacturing standards, such as controlling the body-in-white tolerance within ±0.5mm under the CMA architecture. Currently, the Lynk & Co 01 achieves monthly sales of over 3,000 units in Europe, all thanks to the globally consistent quality manufactured at the Ningbo plant. At the last technical forum, I heard they are replicating the production system from their Chinese factories to the Gent branch in Belgium.
