In February, Geely's Hong Kong-listed unit Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars scrapped plans to merge.\nHandelsbanken Capital Markets analyst Hampus Engellau said taking full control of the Chinese joint ventures could help smooth the way for a Volvo Cars IPO.\n\"The clearer the ownership structure is, and the clearer the stakeholders in the company look, the easier it gets for investors to consider what it is they are investing in,\" he said.\nAnalysts expect other foreign automakers to strike similar deals in China, the world's biggest car market, when the country's requirement for auto manufacturing to be carried out with a local joint venture partner is lifted next year.\nSuch rules for electric carmakers have already been lifted, allowing Tesla to make and sell vehicles via fully-owned operations in China. Volkswagen has gained control of an electric car unit in the eastern city of Hefei.\nVolvo Cars' deal, financial terms for which were not disclosed, will give it full ownership of its manufacturing plants in Chengdu and Daqing, its Chinese sales company and its research and development facility in Shanghai.\nVolvo Cars sold over 166,000 vehicles in China last year, and its dealers are offering heavy discounts to compete with other premium brands like BMW and Audi.\nThe Gothenburg-based company was bought by Geely from Ford in the aftermath of the global financial crisis more than a decade ago, and has since shared ownership of its Chinese plants with its parent.\nVolvo Cars said the transactions, which are subject to regulatory approval, would be carried out in two steps, starting in 2022 and seen formally completed in 2023.\n\"These two transactions will create a clearer ownership structure within both Volvo Cars and Geely Holding,\" Geely's CEO Daniel Li said in a statement, which did not refer to the possible IPO.\nVolvo Cars CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in June the company was making progress towards a possible IPO later in 2021, and that while it would continue to share platforms and components with Geely, they would do so at \"an arm's length distance,\" consistent with the way independent companies do business.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":172984253,"gmtCreate":1626927593172,"gmtModify":1703480763730,"author":{"id":"3584610636880639","authorId":"3584610636880639","authorIdStr":"3584610636880639","name":"Sew","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26c8b2d3d13fc62e657695ed1e8b5e8a","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3584610636880639"},"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/172984253","repostId":2153649464,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":176755333,"gmtCreate":1626917555022,"gmtModify":1703480519772,"author":{"id":"3584187545283295","authorId":"3584187545283295","authorIdStr":"3584187545283295","name":"Chloe1","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3584187545283295"},"htmlText":"Thanks
