What geely motor chile does

Geely Motor Chile SpA is the Chilean wholly-owned subsidiary of Geely Auto Group (Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, HKEX: 0175.HK) and serves as the exclusive importer and distributor of Geely-branded passenger vehicles in the country. Established as a direct operation in late 2024 and headquartered at Cerro Colorado 5240, Las Condes (Santiago), the company sells and services an eight-model portfolio spanning B–D segments: the EX2 100% electric hatchback, EX5 electric SUV (Red Dot Design Award), EX5 EM-i plug-in hybrid SUV (Euro NCAP/ANCAP 5-star), New Coolray, Coolray Lite, Cityray, Starray (CMA/Volvo co-developed platform), and the seven-seat Okavango. Powertrains range from efficient turbocharged ICE to PHEV and BEV, with all models featuring Level 2 ADAS and connected infotainment (Flyme Auto/Geely ONE OS, Apple CarPlay).

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a 40+ authorized dealer ('Proveedor') network handling final sale, delivery, and after-sales service, a digital front door on geely.cl for quoting, reservations, and test-drive scheduling, a Mercado Libre official storefront (first Chinese OEM in Chile on the platform), and a dedicated fleet channel anchored by a Hertz Chile partnership (initial 50+ units, expanding through 2026). Revenue mechanics span one-time vehicle wholesale to dealers, financing referral economics with Forum Servicios Financieros, professional-services revenue from maintenance, parts, roadside assistance, and warranty (supported by DHL Supply Chain logistics), and emerging corporate-fleet sales.

Underlying technology and brand equity are sourced from the parent group, which leverages the CMA platform co-developed with Volvo, the proprietary EM-i hybrid architecture targeting 3L/100km efficiency (validated at 33.3 km/l in the 3L Challenge), the GEA electric platform (up to 495 km WLTP range), and a USD $2B+ Safety Centre holding five Guinness World Records. The customer base spans individual consumers (primary), corporate fleets, and rent-a-car operators, served through a full management bench covering sales, product, marketing, technical/quality, fleet, financing/insurance, and wholesales functions.
