  The Geely story began in 1986 with a simple but powerful idea. When founder, Eric Li, chose the name Geely, meaning 'lucky', it was about much more than just good fortune. His ambition was to build something that would move people forward with confidence and optimism. Today, that same spirit drives everything Geely does.
