Previously from Lynk & Co
In August 2026, our coverage reported that the Lynk & Co 08 hybrid served as the official expedition vehicle for Quest DAKAR 2026, completing a 3,200+ km desert crossing from Casablanca to Dakar — the same expedition cited in today's delivery milestone. In September 2026 we reported that Lynk & Co would make its first Turin Motor Show appearance with the 02 MY27 and the 08 plug-in hybrid, offering test drives and a €720 lease discount. That same month, Lynk & Co named Volvo Cars its exclusive European distributor from January 2027.
