What Happened
Lynk & Co announced in Gothenburg, Sweden, on September 10, 2026, that Volvo Cars will become its exclusive distributor in Europe from January 2027, after the commercial partnership between Volvo Cars and Geely Auto was finalized. Lynk & Co says the arrangement creates a foundation for continued growth in the region by leveraging Volvo Cars' established commercial infrastructure, retail network and service footprint. Europe remains a strategically important market for the brand, and the new distribution model is designed to support its next phase of growth and improve the customer experience. The agreement is expected to open up new customer groups and expand the brand's footprint in key European markets.
“This partnership brings together Volvo Cars' established commercial infrastructure and Lynk & Co's distinctive brand and product proposition. Our focus will be to ensure strong strategic alignment between Europe and our global organization, preserve the distinctiveness of the Lynk & Co brand and work closely with Volvo Cars to turn this partnership into sustainable long-term growth.”
“Today's announcement represents an exciting new chapter for Lynk & Co in Europe. Over the past years, Lynk & Co has successfully expanded to 25 European markets and built a network of more than 140 partner-operated sales points, leveraging the collaboration with Volvo Cars retailers. With Volvo Cars now becoming the exclusive distributor for Lynk & Co in Europe, we are confident that we can take that growth to the next level.”

Why this matters
The deal gives Lynk & Co access to Volvo Cars' commercial infrastructure, retail network and service footprint across Europe, which the brand says will help it reach more customers and grow in the region. European buyers should find its products and services easier to access, while the brand keeps its own distinct identity. Global product development, certification and operations outside Europe remain with parent company Geely Auto Group.
