Geely, the Chinese manufacturer that owns Volvo, looks set to launch an all-new brand called Lynk & Co. According to the official website, the launch appears to be scheduled to take place on 20 October. Judging by the site, the emphasis of the new brand will be on mobility in urban environments, which could mean a focus on a range of zero emission or electric vehicles.
However, the Lynk & Co website itself features almost no cars. Various images and videos of people using bikes, buses and other forms of public transport are most prominent. This could indicate that Lync & Co is thinking about mobility beyond the development of a new car. Something we've been seeing more of from other brands in recent months.

Yet, a single teaser image of what appears to be the front grille of a new model does confirm that an all-new vehicle will be the focus of the brands launch on 20 October.
Geely itself will launch a new SUV in the UK within in the next two years. The model will be around the same size and based on the same CMA architecture as Volvo’s upcoming XC40. It’s possible the Geely SUV could feature a range of new three-cylinder engines based around Volvo’s current 2.0-litre units.
