The assets include its Skövde engine plant in Sweden and the related R&D team, plus its engine plant in China and other relevant assets in the coming months.

Besides supplying powertrains across the Geely family of brands, Aurobay also has the ambition to supply them to other parties. In the long term, it plans to be a leading player in the supply of high-quality, low emission, cost-efficient powertrains solutions.An ardent believer that fun cars need not be fast and fast cars may not always be fun.
