Chinese car manufacturer Geely is planning extensive investments in its development subsidiary CEVT in Gothenburg, Sweden. The business expansion is expected to result in 350 new positions at CEVT. CEVT CEO Mats Fägerhag says that the investments will mean a substantial increase in the number of employees, as well as the opportunity to enter into further agreements with Swedish-based industrial manufacturers such as SKF, Autoliv and Semcon.

He adds that the current number of employees is about 1,400, and that 350 more (mostly engineers) are planned for.
