2019 October 22, Beijing. Geely Auto Group today officially handed over a fleet of pure electric Geometry vehicles to China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Beijing Diplomatic Service Bureau and to the Chinese Football Association at a joint event in Beijing held earlier today.
Environmental protection and sustainable development have become a globally critical issue and has become a core part of China’s national development strategy.
In 2015, Geely delivered its first vehicles to the Beijing Diplomatic Service Bureau to be used as official diplomatic concierge vehicles. Since then, a total of 205 Geely vehicles have been delivered for concierge usage including the Emgrand GT, Emgrand EV, Bo Rui GE, and now Geometry A. The models delivered include traditional fuel, mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and pure electric models. The Geometry range of vehicles was introduced in April 2019 to satisfy global demand for long range intelligent pure electric vehicles. With a combined pure electric range of 500km (NEDC), the Geometry A model is highly suited to urban use.
