Just yesterday I wrote that a global modular platform for their car under the name SPA appeared in Volvo. And at the end of April 2014, the Chinese Autor of Geely presented his new car at the Auto Show in Shanghai, which is based on a joint platform with the Volvo Platform – Copact Modular Architecture. I suspect that these are some intersecting platforms, like nesting dolls. Yes, and not in the name.
So, many large firms have thought out and began to introduce a common platform for all their models. For Volkswagen, this is MQB, for Toyota – TNGA. I am sure that all concerns will sooner or later do the same. My complete confidence is based on the fact that the Volkswagen group already gets the effect of introducing its base platform. And in the coming years, the implementation, which according to the plan should pull $ 70 billion, should recoup and recoup. I do not think that the Germans with their pedantry will do at least something ineffective.
So, since 2017, we will see small -sized cars from Volvo and Gili on the same platform. T. e. They will have an extremely similar chassis with everyone from here: some spare parts, some repair methods, some approaches. Unification should reach its maximum from model to model, and Volvo and Gili simultaneously. I think the consumer will only benefit from this state of affairs.
As I suspect, a car from TM Geely after such a merger with Volvo should become even better. I am sure that the rich Swedish experience in the development of cars will be used really – the Chinese have already proved many times that they are able to carefully transfer sensible decisions to their cars. So now Geely models should become even better.
Our hero’s name is Geely Fe5. He is a class sedan from. His fellow on the CMA platform will be Volvo V40. Feel where the ambitions of Jili are now located? Among the most sensible cars of the planet – here you have synergies from the purchase of the Chinese of the Swedish leader. And Volvo itself got up from the knees, and the car from Geely became much more reliable and better.
Judging by the first photo, the car will be beautiful. His design is archival and I liked it. There will be an animation on the dashboard, which is stretched throughout the panel. Depending on the operating mode of the car, like Eco, City, Sport, the pattern on the panel will change. When I write these lines, I just can’t believe that this is about the Chinese car. As in a fairy tale, which is extremely unpleasant for the leadership of AvtoVAZ, because cutting reduces its chances of success in the market of the Russian Federation ..
