According to foreign media reports, Daimler AG is currently discussing matters related to cooperation in the field of electric vehicles with Geely. An Conghui, president of Zhejiang Geely holding Group Co., Ltd., said Geely will transform from an automaker to a global automotive technology group, while Daimler financial services company CEO Entenman has also said that Daimler Group is ready to continue with the transformation, so this discussion can help the two sides achieve the transformation together through cooperation.

As early as last August, Geely and Daimler discussed the three major areas of electrification, self-driving technology and the future of cars, and set up several projects to communicate.

Geely has been working on a new architecture for electric vehicles and hopes to provide and use it to other automakers. Daimler has previously said it will buy more than $23 billion worth of batteries for mass production of hybrid and electric models by 2030. Thus it can be seen that the discussion and cooperation between the two sides in the field of electric vehicles will be conducive to the achievement of the goals of both sides.

It is understood that the electric version of the smart model is likely to be developed and produced in China in the future, and Geely and Daimler are currently in talks to produce the electric version of the smart. In addition to Geely, BAIC, another Daimler partner in China, was also interested in working with Daimler on the model.
