Geely-Ford Spain Plant Deal Could Give Chinese EVs a Faster Route Into Europe
VALENCIA, Spain, May 7, 2026, 23:09 Geely, the Chinese carmaker, has struck a deal to acquire Ford Motor’s idle Body 3 assembly hall at the Almussafes facility near Valencia, according to La Tribuna de Automoción. The purchase hands Geely a European production foothold right inside one of Ford’s key Spanish locations. The Spanish trade outlet noted that the move allows Geely to operate vehicle manufacturing on its own, separate from Ford’s active lines.
