JAKARTA - Ford Motor and Geely Auto are reportedly discussing a potential partnership to share heavier technology, and manufacturing costs.
CNevpost website, Wednesday, 4 Jakarta, said that three people interviewed said the company was discussing the possibility of Geely using Ford's factory land in Europe to produce vehicles for the European market.
Reuters reported that two people said the discussions also covered a potential framework for sharing automotive technology, including autonomous driving.
Negotiations around manufacturing in Europe are going more smoothly, according to two sources. One source said Ford's plant in Valencia, Spain, is likely to be a facility under consideration.
Several sources said Ford sent a delegation to China this week to intensify talks. Previously, Geely executives and Ford leaders met in Michigan last week, according to a Reuters report.
Responding to the above, Geely declined to comment. But on the other hand, Ford said it routinely engages in discussions with many companies on various topics, sometimes resulting in agreements and sometimes not.
As is known, Geely is one of the largest car manufacturers in China, the manufacturer sold 3.02 million vehicles in 2025, marking an annual increase of 38.96 percent.
Is the partnership of the two manufacturers the best way?
