Chinese automaker Geely displays the first model of its new Lynk & Co brand in Berlin, Germany, yesterday. Geely, the owner of Swedish carmaker Volvo, unveiled the compact SUV aimed at taking on the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz, as well as ride-hailing service Uber, across the world. The Lynk, made in China, will go on sale at home in 2017, followed by Europe and the United States in 2018. It marks one of the first attempts by a Chinese carmaker to create a global brand that makes use of European design and technology know-how.
