The project foresees the launch of seven models over the next two years: four plug-in hybrids of long autonomy –which will be called L–, and three other electric ones –called E–. In both cases, the letter will be followed by a number.

These two technical aspects seem promising. We will have to see if the cars are too. geely it has access to Volvo and Lotus technology, which allows it to be at the cutting edge of technology. And it has a range of vehicles that can serve as a base if the details are refined and have a style of their own.
