But here are 4 traditional automakers that could be winners<\/p>\n<p>U.S. sets ambitious goals for the electric vehicle transition. How to invest for it<\/p>\n<p>Geely and Renault are also looking at developing full electric battery cars for the venture, one source familiar with the matter said.<\/p>\n<p>The new venture is modeled on an EV-focused venture Geely set up in 2019 with Daimler, which plans to manufacture in China and sell Smart-brand EVs based on Geely technology using Daimler&#x27;s global sales network.<\/p>\n<p>The Geely-Renault venture, however, would be completely separate from Geely&#x27;s venture with Daimler.<\/p>\n<p>For Geely, China&#x27;s biggest local automaker by sales, the newest new joint venture would strengthen its strategy to use partnerships with other automakers to share technologies, supply chains and manufacturing, which reduces development costs of EV and other future mobility technology.<\/p>\n<p>For Renault, the partnership would help the French automaker rebuild its presence in China after it ended a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Group in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Renault and Geely would make the cars &quot;in Geely&#x27;s existing factories&quot; with an aim to eventually export the vehicles, one document read. However, one source said they were unlikely to immediately disclose which plants production would take place at.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed Renault-Geely joint venture could be controlled by Geely, one of the sources said, in contrast to Geely&#x27;s Smart joint venture with Daimler, in which both companies have equal share.<\/p>\n<p>Renault and its global alliance partner Nissan Motor Co had the same Chinese partner Dongfeng, before the Renault-Dongfeng joint venture was dissolved.<\/p>\n<p>Renault and Nissan also have long designed, produced and marketed cars jointly that share platforms and other vehicle components to reduce manufacturing and other costs.<\/p>\n<p>It was not immediately clear how Renault&#x27;s new partnership with Geely would impact the Renault-Nissan alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Two Nissan management leaders told Reuters they were unaware Renault was in negotiations with Geely. They said Nissan could possibly benefit if it tapped into Geely&#x27;s supply chains but it was too early to assess the impact.<\/p>\n<p>Automakers are keen to use petrol-electric hybrid vehicles, which have better fuel efficiency than all-petrol counterparts, to meet increasingly tougher auto regulations around the world. These hybrid vehicles, which drivers cannot charge with electricity directly, are different from plug-in hybrid cars.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/09\/renault-geely-plan-to-jointly-develop-petrol-electric-hybrid-vehicles.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France&#x27;s Renault said on Monday it is looking to revive business in China by forming a hybrid vehicle joint venture with Geely Holding Group.
