The company is located at the Geely Innovation Centre, in a 100,000 square meter building called Uni3 in Lindholmen district of Gothenburg, Sweden.[1][2]

CEVT also does development work for other companies. It developed a platform for Waymo's autonomous taxi.[5]

History

When Geely accuired Volvo, they used platform technology from its previous owner Ford. Volvo hired Mats Fägerhag, previous development manager at now defunct Swedish automaker Saab, to find a development partner to Volvo for their smaller cars.[6]

Geely planned to buy a research and development centre in Europe, but instead CEVT was founded in 2013 with Mats Fägerhag as CEO, in the same Swedish city as Volvo's headquarters and with many engineers with background from Saab.[7][8]

The first main objective for CEVT was to develop the CMA platform for the smaller Volvo cars, that also was to be used in the Lynk & Co cars.[9] Difference is that for Volvo, CEVT only developed the platform, for Lynk the assignment was to design the entire car including car body and interior and this partnership resulted in the models Lynk & Co 01, 02 and 03.

In 2016 the first Lynk & Co developed by CEVT was presented and the following year Volvo XC40 (using the CMA-platform).

Besides cars and platform development, CEVT develop common solutions for autonomous driving, automotive electrification, mobility solutions, software development and component development for the Geely group, such as the fully modular automatic 7-speed Dual-Clutch transmission presented in 2019.

September 4th 2023 Giovanni Lanfranchi became new CEO of CEVT[10] and the company have during the year before this shift in leadership started to describe itself as the "European R&D centre for ZEEKR", but also that their design was to be found in the "Geely family, such as ZEEKR, Geely Auto, Volvo Cars, Lynk & Co and Lotus".[11]
