Volvo aims to become the European importer for Lynk & Co.<\/p>\n

Models would be sold and serviced at existing Volvo retailers.<\/p>\n

Move aims to help Lynk & Co grow while also aiding dealerships.<\/p>\n

Volvo has some Geely good news to share as they\u2019ve signed a memorandum of understanding to become the exclusive importer of Lynk & Co<\/a> vehicles in Europe. This would see them take control of the brand\u2019s operations on the continent as well as support their future growth plans.<\/p>\n

If everything goes according to plan, Volvo will use their existing European dealership network to handle sales and service for Lynk & Co. The company sees this as a win-win scenario as retailers can expect increased sales as well as more service customers.<\/p>\n

On top of that, Volvo said Lynk & Co vehicles will \u201ccomplement\u201d its own products as well as broaden its customer base. That being said, there\u2019s some overlap as the Chinese vehicles start between \u20ac35,995 ($41,260) and \u20ac55,995 ($64,185) in Germany, and are related to some Volvo models. Of course, the similarities should help when it comes to repairs and servicing.<\/p>\n

The move is designed to help Lynk & Co grow in Europe, while also allowing Volvo<\/a> to \u201cincrease its addressable market and reach a wider audience without additional product investments.\u201d Volvo added this isn\u2019t a huge change as there\u2019s already an ongoing partnership, which has seen some retailers sell both Volvo and Lynk & Co cars.<\/p>\n

Volvo\u2019s chief commercial officer, Erik Severinson, said \u201cWith this new arrangement, we will leverage our commercial system to support Lynk & Co\u2019s growth ambitions in Europe. At the same time, it enables Volvo Cars and our retail partners to address a wider customer base. With the support of our retailers and our commercial organization, Lynk & Co can achieve its true potential in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynk & Co\u2019s European lineup consists of the 01<\/a>, 02, and 08. The latter is a plug-in hybrid crossover that features a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a 39.6 kWh battery pack, and an electric motor. This gives the model a combined output of 345 hp (257 kW \/ 349 PS) as well as an electric-only range of up to 124 miles (200 km).<\/p>\n
