Geely, the Chinese automaker, is launching its standalone brand in Australia with the introduction of the Geely EX5 electric SUV.
The company previously attempted car sales in Australia in 2010 but now has full factory backing and is looking to expand its presence.
Geely aims to introduce more electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to the Australian market and is focused on rapidly expanding its dealer network.
Geely Auto originated from the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which was founded by Chinese entrepreneur Li Shufu in 1986.
Geely's first car, the Haoqing, was produced in 1998, and the company entered the automotive industry in 1997.
The Geely Auto Group has undergone several transformations, launching new models and entering partnerships with brands like Volvo and Lotus.
Geely's latest offering in Australia is the Geely EX5 electric SUV, competing with brands like Tesla and other Chinese electric vehicles.
Geely has strong ambitions for growth in the Australian market, planning to introduce more than six new vehicles in the next three years.
Geely's immediate focus is on establishing a strong presence in Australia by offering EVs and PHEVs, with plans to expand its dealer network to 22 locations.
Geely is set to bring more models to Australia, with the Galaxy Starship 7 PHEV expected to be the next offering in the market.
