MINSK, 13 September (BelTA) – The Belarusian-Chinese car factory BelGee has reached the production localization rate of 50%, BelTA learned from the company's Acting Director General Gennady Svidersky.
Gennady Svidersky said: “We've reached 50% localization because new factories have been built next to BelGee to make powertrains, radiators, and seats. Belshina supplies tires. Batteries are made by Belarusian and Russian companies. We receive half of the components from China, including the intermediate metal parts we use to weld car bodies. Work is in progress on the localization of other components.”
The company's assembly line allows making batches of all the three car models – Geely Atlas (NL3), Geely Emgrand X7 (NL4), and Geely Emgrand 7 (FE3). Marketing studies are in progress. A portfolio of orders is being formed as well as the portfolio of purchases for the Russian and Belarusian markets.
