The popularity of the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show has not diminished, and Geely Holding Group has begun to comprehensively promote a new round of high-level personnel arrangements. According to media reports, on April 27th, Geely Holding Group announced several key personnel appointments: in terms of battery business, An Conghui, who is currently serving as the CEO of Jike Technology, will also serve as the Chairman of the Battery Industry Group, and Zheng Xin, who is currently serving as the Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Geely Holding Group, will also serve as the CEO of the Battery Industry Group. In terms of intelligence, Jiang Jun, the Vice President of Jike responsible for Jike's intelligent cockpit business, will also serve as the Chief Cockpit Scientist of Geely Group. Regarding this, Geely Group confirms that the appointment is true.
It is worth noting that Chen Qi, the Vice President in charge of Jike's intelligent driving business, has previously been appointed as the Chief Intelligent Driving Scientist of Geely Group. That is to say, at the level of Geely Group, both intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit have been managed by personnel from Jike Technology. Regarding the above news, Geely Group has not yet provided a clear response.
Since the release of the Taizhou Declaration by Li Shufu on September 20, 2024, Geely Group has undergone a series of significant adjustments. During the Shanghai Auto Show, Geely Group has disclosed its latest integration trend to the outside world, confirmed its strategic integration of battery business, and announced that Geely Holding Group will integrate its battery business and establish a new battery industry group - Jiyao Tong. The original BRICS batteries and SHIELD short knife batteries will be unified into the SHIELD BRICS battery brand.
In November 2024, Geely Group's two major brands, Jike and Lynk&Co, began the merger process. In February 2025, Jike announced that it had completed the acquisition and capital injection of Lynk&Co, and acquired 51% of Lynk&Co's equity for approximately 9.367 billion yuan, achieving absolute control.
