Default As expected, Geely buys London Taxi manufacturer

To no-one's surprise, Geely has bought the remains of LTI from the
administrator. More surprisingly, they say they intend to resume
production in Coventry for the UK market; left-hand drive markets will
continue to be supplied from Shanghai. As before, I assume most of the
components assembled in the Coventry factory will continue to come
from China.

What will be more interesting is if Geely invests in creating a more
modern, fuel-efficient and non-polluting successor to the old low-tech
London cab, which now has Mercedes Vito competition, with Nissan's
cheaper contender just round the corner.
