"We have yet to decide on the location for the new plant, with Chengdu in Southwest China and other locations under study," Bloomberg reported, citing Geely President Yang Jian Yang added that there is an opportunity for construction to begin this year.

Geely, based in Hangzhou in eastern Zhejiang province, bought Volvo Cars from Ford Motor Co in August for about $1.5 billion.
