But they said the brands of the two companies, including Volvo, Geely, Lynk & Co and Polestar, will keep their identities after the combination.
Geely, as China's largest private automaker, has a diverse family of brands ranging from Volvo to Polestar.
However, the deals with Changan, whose cumulative sales reached 25.3 million units as of October, and Geely — China's second-largest privately-owned automaker with a portfolio including Volvo, Zeekr, Lotus and Polestar — are indicating battery swapping is becoming more mainstream, the insider said.
In June, Xingji Meizu announced an official collaboration with Swedish EV brand Polestar.
The two firms will establish a joint venture to tap the domestic market, with Polestar holding 49 percent and Xingji Meizu owning 51 percent.
"By the end of this year, we will introduce the Polestar 4, followed by the Polestar 3 mid-next year and the Polestar 5 the year after.
We hope that a few Polestar vehicles can become flagship products in the mid-to-high price range, and Meizu's smartphone brand can reclaim a position in the top five domestic phone markets within three years," Shen said.
In a similar vein, Swedish EV maker Polestar said last week it had formed a joint venture with Chinese smartphone maker Xingji Meizu.
Polestar holds 49 percent of the joint venture and Meizu 51 percent, providing $98 million and $102 million in funding respectively.
The collaboration aims to develop an operating system specifically for Polestar cars sold in China, integrating the latest smart technologies into Polestar vehicles.
Meizu, owned by Geely Group, which is also one of Polestar's major investors and controls Volvo Cars, holds a significant position in the collaboration.
Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said that China is one of the fastest-growing EV markets in the world with distinct consumer trends, notably the integration of consumer electronics and vehicles.
Swedish electric performance car maker Polestar launched the Polestar 4, an electric performance SUV coupe, at the Shanghai auto show this week, the second SUV in the brand's lineup and its fastest production car to date.
Making its global debut in China, the Polestar 4 represents a new breed of SUV in its approach to both aerodynamics and space, focusing on the rear occupants' comfort and experience, and with one of its most-notable features being the replacement of the rear window with a high-definition screen that shows a real-time feed from a roof-mounted rear camera.
"With Polestar Precept (concept car), we previewed a stunning new occupant experience by removing the rear window and pushing the rear header, which plays an integral safety role, further back.
This means that now, rear occupants can have a unique experience in our SUV coupe," said Maximilian Missoni, head of design at Polestar.
As the fastest production car the brand has developed to date, the Polestar 4 can accelerate from 0-100 kilometers per hour in just 3.8 seconds and has maximum power output is 400 kilowatt.
"Rather than simply modifying an existing SUV, giving it a faster roofline and as a result, compromising elements like rear headroom and comfort, we have designed Polestar 4 from the ground up as a new breed of SUV coupe," said Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.
Polestar is one among many innovative brands showcasing their latest products at the Shanghai auto show, but what makes the design-driven brand stand out from many of its competitors is its emphasis on sustainability.
The Polestar 4 uses circular and low-carbon materials to replace traditional solutions, such as mono-materials, first presented in the Polestar electric roadster concept in 2022.
The material and the design have been created by Polestar designers together with the Swedish School of Textiles and further developed with suppliers.
A full lifecycle assessment, showing the true carbon footprint of the car, will be published alongside the Polestar 4 Product Sustainability Declaration in 2024.
Not to be outdone on the tech front, the Polestar 4 is also geared toward entertainment, connectivity and an autonomous future.
As with all other Polestar cars, regular over-the-air updates allow for new features and improvements to be sent remotely to all vehicles, removing the need to visit a workshop to gain the latest software.
The Polestar 4 is being first launched in China, with production planned to begin at the brand's Geely-owned production facility in Hangzhou in November this year.
A full-scale launch for other markets, including in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific, is planned for early next year — with sales and production ramping up for these markets through the course of that year, according to Polestar.
Founded in 2017 by Volvo Cars and its owner Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, Polestar went public on the NASDAQ in 2021 raising over $890 million.
Its well-known automobile brands include Geely Auto, Volvo, Polestar and Lotus.
There are several high-performance electronic technologies that Geely can share with Aston Martin, including those from the Chinese carmaker's Polestar and Lotus brands, said experts.
Polestar is an electric car startup, and Lotus is developing electric sports cars and SUVs.
A number of other automakers, including Polestar, are also getting ready for the launch of their own Level 3 systems.
Baldassari said Europcar was increasingly sourcing EVs from Great Wall Motors, SAIC Motor and Polestar, which is owned by China's Geely and Volvo Cars, though it was also buying from traditional partners, including Renault and Stellantis.
German auto parts producer ZF has joined hands with electric carmaker Polestar to develop fully climate neutral vehicles by 2030.
The main goal of the initiative, called Polestar 0, is to avoid emissions throughout the entire vehicle life cycle — not to compensate for them by planting trees or buying emission credits.
Polestar, an electric carmaker founded by Volvo and Geely, is focusing on fundamental cooperation across industries to address the net zero emissions challenge.
电动汽品牌极星，由沃尔沃和吉利共同创立，正致力于跨行业开展基础性合作以应对净零排放挑战。
"The Polestar 0 Project is a fantastic moonshot initiative.
Polestar 0项目是一个极富雄心壮志的宏大计划。
"Our joint research task will investigate the complete electric drive to find out which type has the potential to achieve net zero manufacturing," said Thomas Ingenlath, CEO Polestar.
“我们的联合研究任务将全面探索电动驱动技术，以找出哪种类型具有实现净零排放制造的潜力，”极星（Polestar）首席执行官托马斯·英根拉特（Thomas Ingenlath）表示。
Swedish electric carmaker Polestar sold 29,000 vehicles globally in 2021, up 185 percent year-on-year.
Polestar said its sales in China last year soared 471 percent from 2020.
Polestar said its vehicles were available in 19 markets by the end of 2021.
"We are delivering on our targets," said Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, in a statement.
Mike Whittington, Polestar's head of sales, said he has observed people's growing interest in the company and its products.
Polestar is accelerating efforts to enrich its lineup.
Polestar 3, a performance SUV, is set to launch in 2022 and will be the first Polestar to be built in China and the United States.
Polestar said the model will feature advanced technologies from Luminar, Nvidia and Zenseact that will provide cutting-edge unsupervised autonomous driving functions.
Polestar 4, a smaller performance SUV, will follow in 2023.
The company will launch a four-door GT coupe, called Polestar 5, in 2024.
The company also highlighted a number of new energy vehicle makers adopting the Hyperion platform, including Polestar, Li Auto, Nio, R Auto and Xpeng.
Other automakers leveraging various parts of its Snapdragon Digital Chassis are Hyundai, Polestar and China's Nio, Xpeng, WM Motor, SAIC and Jidu.
Zenseact's first delivery will be technology for next-generation Volvo and Polestar cars, such as active safety features and an unsupervised autonomous driving function for highways.
Over the past decade, Geely has launched Lynk& Co (a connected car brand providing personalized mobility services), Polestar (a premium electric vehicle brand that uses a subscription model), Caocao (a new energy vehicle ride-hailing platform), and has acquired Volvo Cars, London Taxi Co, Terrafugia (the first flying car company in the world) and has signed strategic agreements with Baidu, Tencent, Foxconn and Daimler to provide vehicle-related services.
Other brands, including Lynk & Co, Polestar, LEVC, Geometry and Lotus, will continue to explore their market segments with a wide range of electrified products.
Geely has decided to build more models on the platform, which had been reserved until recently for vehicles by Volvo, Polestar and Lynk& Co. Feng Qingfeng, vice-president of Geely Auto, said: "The Compact Modular Architecture is the DNA behind our evolutionary automotive manufacturing and development ecosystem.
In late July, Geely said it will build more Geely-branded vehicles on its Compact Modular Architecture, which has been reserved until recently for high-end models by Volvo, Polestar and Lynk & Co. Geely and Volvo started to develop the CMA in 2013, which is designed to be compatible with combustion engines, mild hybrids, plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles.
Zhejiang Geely Holding Group said on Tuesday that it is planning to build more Geely-branded vehicles on its Compact Modular Architecture, which has been reserved until recently for high-end models by Volvo, Polestar and Lynk & Co.
The architecture has since become the foundation for Geely's upscale brand Lynk & Co and Volvo's electric car brand, Polestar.
Volvo Car Group, owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, is partnering with Alphabet's autonomous driving unit Waymo to develop highly automated electric robotaxis for the Swedish carmaker as well as its affiliate Polestar and Chinese joint venture Lynk& Co.
The two offered few details, but Green said the global partnership with Waymo opens up new business opportunities for Volvo Cars, Polestar and Lynk& Co.
After the merger, the new company will feature five brands: Volvo, Geely, Lynk & Co, Polestar and Geometry, covering affordable sedans to premium SUVs and electric vehicles.
Polestar, an electrified performance vehicle brand jointly owned by Volvo and Geely, has also started production of its models in China.
The Polestar 1, a plug-in hybrid coupe, is now assembled at a plant in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, and production of the fully electric Polestar 2 sedan, is due to start in early 2020 at Geely's Luqiao plant in Zhejiang province.
Although Volvo did not set up a stage at the auto show, the group's sub-brand Polestar launched its first electric car, the Polestar 2.
As a high-performance electric brand owned by Volvo, Polestar was founded in 2017 and released the hybrid Polestar 1 at GIMS last year.
Polestar 2 will begin mass production during the second half of 2019 and is expected to cooperate with Chinese companies such as AutoNavi and iFlytek when entering the Chinese market.
Polestar, Volvo's performance electric brand, is showing its confidence in the Chinese automobile market's growth potential and believes China is largest single market worldwide.
Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar, said he has great confidence in the Chinese market.
At the auto show, the automaker unveiled its first model, the Polestar 1, which will be produced from the middle of next year at the automaker's newly-built Chengdu plant.
When asked why Polestar located its plant in China, the CEO answered: "You definitely should go with your production to where your biggest market will be.
"Polestar's high attention to the Chinese market is also manifested in its sales distribution network in the country.
Polestar plans to open 60 dealer exhibition halls globally, which are called Polestar Spaces, 20 in China, according to Ingenlath.
Utilizing an innovative sales mode, all the Polestar products will be both rented and sold, according to the automaker.
Choosing to rent a vehicle, the customer has the ownership of the vehicle as long as he pays off the rental expense every month, which exempts the customer from worrying about vehicle depreciation, insurance and maintenance, according to Polestar.
Based on Volvo's experience in producing vehicles, Polestar is optimistic about its product competitiveness.
"Polestar has an experienced parent company.
As a high-performance hybrid electric vehicle, the Polestar 1's range can reach 150 kilometers on pure electric mode.
Equipped with Volvo's Drive-E engine, the Polestar 1 has a maximum output of 600 horsepower and a torque of 1,000 Newton meters.
The company has its plan to build up its product portfolio in the coming years, adding the Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 models.
The Polestar 2 will be the automaker's and even its parent company's first fully electric vehicle, which will be produced from the end of next year, according to Polestar.
The Polestar 3, under design at present, is a fully electric sports utility vehicle, featuring advanced performance and handling, according to the automaker.
Polestar, a performance electrification brand under Volvo, is optimistic about the Chinese market's growth potential as well.
Premium automaker Volvo Car Group has also recognized China's market potential for electric mobility, beginning research and development on a high-performance electric platform via its subsidiary Polestar.
Hakan Samuelsson, president and CEO of Volvo Car Group, said: "We will develop very attractive high-performance electric Polestar cars, then also use that electrification platform for Volvo Cars.
"We can have Polestar really pioneering electrification with very attractive cars.
The company's stand-alone high-performance electrified brand, Polestar, will also start manufacturing in China, with its production base set to be completed by the middle of this year in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province.
The Polestar 1 coupe will be rolled off the line in mid-2019, and the group's first-ever full-electric car, Polestar 2, will also be put into production by the end of 2019.
Visitors examine the newly-unveiled Polestar 1 high-performance coupe in Shanghai.
It comes from Polestar, the former performance sub-brand of Volvo.
Polestar unveiled its first standalone electric performance model, the Polestar 1 on Tuesday in Shanghai.
The Polestar 1 is being promoted as "Electric Performance Hybrid.
Polestar said it would test the waters with an initial annual production run of 500 vehicles, and the cars will be available through a new subscription service, similar to that being offered by Volvo on the new XC40.
Polestar's high-performance electric model is a two-door, four-seat grand tourer coupe with an Electric Performance Hybrid drivetrain.
"Polestar takes customers beyond pure driving.
We've integrated digital connectivity and mobile apps in the car," said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath.
"All future cars from Polestar will feature an electric drivetrain, delivering on our brand vision of being the new standalone electric performance brand," he added.
Polestar's technology and product offering benefits from synergies and economies of scale enabled by Volvo Car Group.
They've helped Polestar to accelerate the design, development and production processes, taking a fraction of the time it takes other new entrants.
A joint venture has been established between Volvo Cars and Geely Holding, capitalized at 5 billion yuan ($770 million) in equity to support Polestar's development.
Ron Zheng, Shanghai-based partner of German firm Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, said the Polestar move was seen as a way to strengthen the brand image of Volvo, and test the newest concepts.
Polestar's CEO said the first batch of 500 cars were being built for customers who embraced new technologies, appreciated the cutting-edge design and were passionate about driving a car offering heightened road performance.
