Geely to make EK2 plug-in electric car by 2011
Published: 06 May 2009 22:46:52 PSTShanghai, May 6 (Gasgoo.com) Geely Auto launched three new sub-brands - Gleagle (sedans), Emgrand (SUVs) and Shanghai Englon (luxury cars) - at the 2009 Shanghai auto show, in addition to showing six all-new models and concepts. The automaker may produce Gleagle EK2 plug-in electric car by 2011, sohu.com said.
At the heart of the Geely stand was the Shanghai Englon GE, a monster 5.4-metre Rolls-Royce Phantom-like luxury car. The Englon GE features a 'Grecian temple' grille, similar to that on a Phantom although the modest 3.5-litre V6 under the bonnet is distinctly un-Rolls.
Gleagle follows the green theme with its IG and the EK2, a five-door electric car using lithium-ion batteries. The EK2 is an engineering-led concept car that points toward a future plug-in electric vehicle.
