Geely will convert all of its cars to methanol

According to a global report from Geely, the eponymous holding company and its brands plan to be completely carbon neutral by 2030. In addition, the Chinese plan to convert their cars to methanol in addition to electricity.

In fairness, it must be said that Geely has long promoted a strategy to protect the environment, systematically introducing electric cars and hybrid cars in various markets around the world. By the way, the company’s sales of “green” cars last year exceeded 640,000 units, demonstrating an increase of 100.3%. Further.

The world’s first 100,000 ton ‘methanol’ plant, in which Geely has invested, is already operational in China’s Henan province, preventing 160,000 tonnes of carbon from entering the environment.

Among others, “Geely” and his “daughters” began to actively use environmentally friendly materials. For example, the new model Zeekr 009, which is delivered to Russia through gray import channels, is made of 30% non-toxic elements, including synthetic microfiber for interior trim and other plant-based materials. And no less electric Geometry E is equipped with plastic made from straw and felt from recycled PET fibres. By the way, “Geometry” has already appeared in the vastness of Belarus, and it is possible that soon it will appear with us.

And with guts from “Geely”, Volvo showed on the new “green” crossover EX90 how to use recycled steel, aluminum and various bio-based raw materials. However, the Lotus Eletre hypercrossover, which recently debuted thanks to the efforts of the Chinese, is also available in Russia through parallel imports and consists of 95% “recycling”.

Meanwhile, in Russia so far only laws are being processed, and certainly not in favor of consumers. And returning to the automotive industry, one cannot but say that we still do not even have our own automatic transmission … It’s good that at least there are cars. But again, Chinese…
