Lynk & Co: A New Era in Automotive

Challenging the norm and reinventing the way we drive and own automobiles is Lynk & Co, an up-and-coming automotive manufacturer that unites the expertise of Swedish manufacturer Volvo with Chinese parent company Geely.

Launching with an open API, Lynk & Co is positioned to be a Volvo for millennials and is set to follow in the footsteps of Tesla.

Innovative Features of Lynk & Co

"Connectivity to Lynk & Co will be what safety is to Volvo," said Mats Fagerhag, Chief China Euro Vehicle Technology (CEVT). Sharing the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform with the upcoming Volvo 40 series, Lynk & Co vehicles will be closely related to their Swedish siblings.

With a constant connection to the Lynk & Co cloud, each vehicle will feature onboard telematics, allowing for almost everything to be controlled through a smartphone app. Key features include:

• Sharing digital keys with family and friends
• Information regarding available parking spaces
• Guidance on optimal speed to catch the next green light

Boldly proclaiming “no more garages, no more paperwork, no more insurance worries. Because why should all this be your problem?” on its website, it’s a brand whose 2018 Middle Eastern debut is one we’re well looking forward to!
