Why Can't Geely Use Volvo's Technology After Acquiring It?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why Geely cannot use Volvo's technology after acquiring it: Geely has its own pride: As a well-known domestic automotive brand in China, if Geely were to directly use Volvo's engines, it would undoubtedly elevate Geely's status. However, since the technology is not independently developed by Geely, directly adopting it would face significant resistance and could even negatively impact the sales of Geely's vehicles. Volvo retains its brand technology: Although Volvo has been acquired by Geely, Geely only purchased Volvo's equity. Geely does not have the rights to use Volvo's automotive manufacturing technology, including its engines, as doing so would constitute infringement.
