Geely reaches for the skies

For Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, even the sky is no limit to its ambition, literally. The Chinese carmaker, which made headlines last week by becoming the largest shareholder in Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler, is to produce flying cars in China.

A Geely representative confirmed on Wednesday to China Daily that it is hiring engineers, who must be English-speaking, to help introduce and test-produce prototypes from Terrafugia Inc, a US-based flying car maker Geely acquired in November 2017.

The company is also seeking contractors to renovate workshops in a passenger car production facility in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, for the same purpose.
