Geely launches methanol hybrid technology and its first series-production sedan
Geely has presented a methanol hybrid technology and announced the world's first series-production sedan equipped with this system, presented as an intermediate path between internal combustion and electric. In China, this sector is promoted to offset the loss of range of electric vehicles in cold weather and is reaching the general public, while Geely claims twenty years of research and questions its commercial viability. The story is covered in China, the United States, and Australia, with sub-events focusing mainly on the Chinese market.
